    Hi,

    I have an issue with my post excerpt and button styling ( see attachment). I use a 'post grid' as an overview of different pages on my website. 

    I don't want the post  excerpt ( the text ) to be so long and also it seems impossible to change the red color of the button ? 

    I already looked at the Visual composer tutorials but i didn't get a clear explanation on this issue in particular..... 

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hi,

    Because this is a default shortcode of Visual Composer, so we can't edit it.

    We just can help you change button styling now.

    Thanks for contacting.

    Hi,

    So what is according to you the best way to make a grid overview of different pages ( what are the possibilities within the Archi theme )  ?

    Thanks,

    Peter

    You can control excerpts length with WP filters. Try placing this in your theme’s functions.php file.
    In my case, I just need 10 words to display:

    function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {    return 10;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );
