    Hi Gregor,

    Another question in relation to the blog carousel. I tried to adjust the excerpt length shown in Theme Options, but the excerpt always gets shown as one line only (same as on The Gem feature page). Is there a way to change the length - I would like to have two or three lines of text?

    Many thanks

    Hi,

    You can hide it via CSS. But I need to see the style you're using. Can you give me link on our demo with this shortcode?

    I still develop locally, so can't give you a URL of my site. But, your feature page link is here: https://codex-themes.com/thegem/blog/blog-list/ scroll down to Blog & News Carousel. There you see the three teasers with the circle feature image for each. each teaser also shows the blog title i.e. "Simple Blog Post" and underneath it shows the excerpt, but this is restricted to one line (~30 characters). I would like that excerpt to be 2 or three lines as I will make the circle much bigger.

    Many thanks

    Hi,

    CSS:

    .gem-news-item-right-conteiner {
        max-height: 100%;
        overflow: hidden;
    }
    .gem-news_title_excerpt {
        max-height: 71px;
    }

    Perfect!

    But the maximum excerpt length is then determined by how much text I use in the excerpt filed and not by the setting in Theme Options, correct?

    Hi,

    Yes. If you're using excerpt field in the post options.
