"Blog News" shortcode excerpt for posts

edited June 2015 in Shortcodes
Not sure if this has been asked but I can't find an answer so I'm sorry if this is a repeat.

We want to use the "Blog News" shortcode to display our latest posts for a certain category, but the shortcode by default doesn't display an excerpt of the post text; So is there a good way to do this in a similar fashion to how the "Blog News" shortcode displays? Or can we modify the "Blog News" shortcode to display an excerpt?

  • Hi,

    unfortunately we do not have similar shortcode which display excerpt. If you want to modify this item, you can do this yourself in functions/theme-shortcodes.php file because there is no other way to display excerpts with this item.

    Thanks!
