Full content in posts grid?

Hi there - I was wondering if there is a correct way (ie without modifying any files) to display the full content of a post when displaying posts in grid format? We publish short blog posts with links & formatting, and would love to be able to have all the content remain “untrimmed” in grid format. Let me know, thanks! Loving BB, only 2 days in but have learned a lot and already saved a lot of time!

Hey Brian,

Welcome to the BB forums! :slight_smile:

That’s currently not possible, without modifying the code at least. One thing you can do though is increase the number of words an excerpt holds. It’s set to 55 by default but you can override it by adding the filter below to your functions.php file, preferably on a child theme.

function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
  return 100;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );

This is documented on the codex - https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt

Hope this works for you! :slight_smile:
