Several Questions

Hello

I've got several questions, would be great if you could help me out

1. Listings Loop - How to display more text before "read more" cuts it? I'm using a larger grid for displaying the listings so i need to extend the number of shown characters in description a bit

2. Category Listings Count - Is it possible to display number of listings in a category next to the category in the sidebar? Example: Fast Food (12)

3. Featured Slider on top - Is there a way not to display the slider/featured section if there are no entries featured? At the moment it takes just ununsed space if there are no featured listings.

Thanks in advance

 

to answer #2 Go to the relevent widget (Geocraft Listing Category) and tick 'Show post counts'... you can also tick 'show hierarchy' to show sub categories.

 

Hello,

1) For this go to the
geocrafttheme > functions.php and add code just above

Code:

add_filter('excerpt_length', 'my_excerpt_length');
function my_excerpt_length($length) {
return 230; // Or whatever you want the length to be.
}

3) Download file attached with this post and replace with your theme's files.
Attached: front-page.php, taxonomy-listcat.php
