   Hi Mike,

   when I have recent posts pulled in via short codes on my homepage, even though I am using the 'more' tag on the posts, I get a massive summary on the page.

   Is there a way to restrict this to a few characters or words?

   thanks,

   ian

   Hi,

   do you use the excerpt field?

   It's below the content editor (standard WP field when editing a post)

   Ah yes I know where it is. What do you do? Just put 3 lines of text in or something?

   The excerpt option does not seem to be appearing in the Post section. It does with the Work section however. Is there any way to limit the amount of characters on the homepage when I pull in recent posts?

    I don't think it will be possible without some tricks:
