Hi-- I'm evaluating the Post Grid plugin for permanent use. I love the configurability. I'm running into a couple of config problems I'm hoping you can help me resolve:
- The "Excerpt" is only pulling an automatic excerpt. I've create manual excerpts on every post, because the opening sentence is often not descriptive enough to work as a good excerpt. Is there any way to pull the actual, defined Excerpt from each post, rather than the first sentence of content?
- I can't get the filtering to work. Noticed someone else had the same problem, but didn't see a resolution. Search works fine, but when I click on a category, all posts load rather than just category posts. I also don't see a way to add category tags to the top of the page. Is that a premium feature?
Thanks for the quick reply. I hacked the layer-content.php file, and the $the_content function from get_the_content() to get_the_excerpt() and it's exactly what I want. (I don't want the "more" link, as I'm going for a minimalist layout, and the image and title already provide a link to the post.
Is there any place to increase the length of the excerpt displayed? I thought I saw that setting somewhere, and now can't find it. Premium?
If I upgrade to Premium do I lose all admin settings currently configured? Or does it just add files to the plug-in?
Thanks!
