BeTheme blog excerpt formatting

klevur · December 2015

I wanted to see if there is a way or how to change the formatting of the blog excerpt that is shown?

Right now it center aligns everything and it is one long sentence without any formatting.

Is it possible to change the formatting to resemble something like http://www.copyblogger.com/blog?

I appreciate the help.

Hey,

please send us url to page where you have blog excerpt center and we'll see if there is anything what we can do to align it to the left side.

Thanks!

It is more than just justifying to the left but also recognizing the breaks for paragraphs, etc.

It gives a very cluttered feel and we would like to be able to show more in the excerpt and make it appear more clean like I sent you for the Copy blogger blog.

I appreciate the help.

We understand what you mean but this is how our theme was designed and how supposed to look like. So if you want to modify blog page, you supposed to write some extra css. Below, we are giving you custom css to align content to the left side and to increase word spacing:

.post-desc { text-align: left !important; word-spacing: 10px !important; }

I appreciate that and that code did help. Is there any way to make it recognize the formatting such as breaks in paragraphs etc? The excerpt truncates all the <p> tags and just makes everything a single paragraph with no breaks.

I do appreciate the help.

All excerpts are one paragraph always and that's why it is not possible. Paragraphs are visible in single posts only where you can see padding between them already.

Hello, I have also a question for the post excerpt:
At first it stopped in the mittle of a sentence (after 23 words which I changed to 50 now) and then there were these dots [...], but not a direkt link to the article in the sign. This was somehow confusing. I guess it is not possible to add a link to the dots that connects to the article? It would be my preferred option to directly add a Link to these dots..

Now I removed these dots with CSS, but it is still confusing, since the excerpt stops in the middle of the sentence. If my first option is not possible, is it possible to stop the excerpt after 2 sentences?

Here is the link: http://preview-web01.156695.aweb.preview-site.ch/fr/home/
Thanks in advance

Hi,

Sorry but this is not possible. These dots are created with css, and the link is added with php.

thanks
