That works. Thank you very much.

Hi there,

You can adjust the excerpt two ways...

1. Enter some custom text in the excerpt field on the post edit screen with the exact content you want to display (no limits).

2. Edit the functions.php file to control the amount of text that automatically appears when a custom excerpt isn't provided. Locate the following on lines 11-16...

///////////////////////
//EXCERPT STUFF
///////////////////////
function new_excerpt_length($length) {
	return 55;
}

Just change "55" to a number you want to use. The number represents the number of words that will appear.

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Chris

How do I edit the excerpt length?

You bet! :-)

If you're enjoying the theme, please don't forget to rate it on your downloads page on ThemeForest. Positive ratings REALLY help me out and show potential buyers the value of my hard work.

Thanks!

That makes perfect sense. Thank you very much.

Oh, I see what's happening...

The content area on the right has a limited/finite amount of space. In other words, it can't expand to make room for additional content.

Because your title on the first slide is so long, it's pushing the content down, which make it hidden in order to avoid it running over other elements.

To address this you can either (1) reduce/condense/consolidate the amount of text in your titles, (2) use my above edit to remove the excerpt text and "continue" link or (3) customize the excerpt text on the edit page to be very short.

As an example for #1 mentioned above, you could change the title from this...

Jeff Hollingshead at Job Fair, Smyrna Tennessee, September 18, 2013

...to this...

Jeff Hollingshead at Job Fair, Smyrna Tennessee, 9.18.2013

(or completely remove the date since it's listed on the actual post page)

Let me know if that makes sense.

Best,

Chris

Thanks. Here is the link. http://xmpolitical.com/ Everything is just a place holder now, but you can see what the slider does. It is on the first slide.

Hi there,

You can control the slider category from the "customize" page, under "appearance".

The "continue" button should appear regardless of there being content or not. Can you provide a link to your site? I'll check it out.

To have only the title appear in the slider area, open "dualslider.php" and remove the following on lines 19-24...

<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php  if ($data[ 'custom_link' ]) { ?>
	<a class="sliderMore" href="<?php echo $data[ 'custom_link' ]; ?>"><?php _e('Continue','themolitor');?> &raquo;</a></p>
<?php } else { ?>
	<a class="sliderMore" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php _e('Continue','themolitor');?> &raquo;</a></p>
<?php } ?>

Best,

Chris

There is probably already a post for this, but I can't seem to find it. I want the slider to only display a certain category, not just the most recent posts. How would I accomplish this?

Also, If I only title a post, but put no text content in, a continue button shows up on the slider. If I put content into the post, the first part of the content shows up in the slider but no continue button. So, is there a way to only have the Title show up in the slider, even if there is text content associated with that post?
