In this tutorial I am showing you how to change post excerpt length in WordPress according to your theme’s requirement. By default the excerpt length is set to return 55 words. If you want to change excerpt length, you can override this length in your theme by adding your own filter.
For example if you want “70” words to display in your post except, to change post excerpt length add following code to functions.php file in your theme:
function your_excerpt_length( $length ) {
return 70;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'your_excerpt_length' );
I hope it will help you to change the post excerpt length.
