Hi, I would like to change in the category and blog pages, the vision of the article introduction. from "post-excerpt" to "description" of the post.
each post has a different "description" in my blog and I would like to see that not the "post-excerpt" of 35 or more characters.

I attach an image to the category https://www.societaria.it/business/business-plan/

Hi,
You can change the length of Excerpt in Theme Options > Blog, Portfolio & Shop > Blog

Sorry, I do not understand at all, you want to delete whole excerpt field, right?

If yes, please paste this code to Theme Options > Custom CSS & JS > CSS

.post-excerpt{
	display:none !important;
}

Cheers

hi, no, I do not want to delete the extract. I want to modify the extract (initial words of the article) with the "meta description" provided to yoast or inserted in the article

if you check each article has a different meta description, it is the paragraph that is under the title of your page when it appears among the search engine results

I tried to add this to css - .post-excerpt {"description";} but it does not work

let me know how I can do it

I'm still not sure if this is what you're asking for.

The SEO description in the search engine is taken from Theme Options > SEO

But only, if the "Use built-in fields" is turned on.

You cannot manage the length of words used in SEO at all.
Thanks.

I just want the meta description of the article to appear on the blog or category page and not the excert.

the meta description has already been provided to each article and you can view it on the search engine using the "site:" command or by inspecting the page content.

Which page can I change the way I view the blog or category page in the theme editor?

Pablo

To make it happen, you have to insert your text inside the Wordpress Editor, not the muffin builder and remove the excerpt field(make the field blank)
