Ask a Question

On the new site I'm developing - https://dev.stlukewinamac.org/ - on our home page about halfway down I have a section for Worship and Events and News. The News section is a single blog post with the current week's news. Is there a way to display more content in that area to fill it up more? I manually changed the excerpt but it's still just a few lines.

Thanks

Hello Marti,

Thank you for contacting us!

Unfortunately, we are currently unable to access the provided website from our side.

Please note that the amount of excerpt text displayed by the Blog Posts Element cannot be increased directly in Nicepage.
Therefore, manually changing the excerpt in WordPress may not increase the number of visible lines.

Since you are displaying only one current weekly news post, you can try using the Post Details Element instead.
Add it to the page and specify the required WordPress Post ID in its properties. This will allow you to display more content from the selected post.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Thanks for the info. Did you get an error message when you tried to look at the website?

With the help of ChatGPT we created a plugin to do what I needed. We added the ability to choose the font size for the header and the text and also the number of characters to be displayed. The nice thing is I can still use your Blog Posts Elements as normal.

Hello Marti,

Thank you for the update.

I was able to access your website successfully after connecting through a VPN.
It appears that the previous issue was related to network/location access rather than an error on the website itself.

I also checked the News page, and it is displaying correctly now, as shown in the screenshot.

Glad to hear that you were able to create a plugin that provides the additional excerpt and font-size controls you needed while still using the Nicepage Blog Posts Element.

Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
