Hi
I would appreciate if some one could point me in the right direction, I am using the wallpress theme pulling Rss feeds, I only need about 20 words from each feed item is there a place to add a excerpt tag.
I have tried replacing in content.php
the_content(); to the_excerpt();
that helps but all my images are gone, all I need to do is limit the text following the images

ALSO how do I remove the page pagination and use Next Previous
I appreciate any help I can get getting desperate I have tried everything I have gone through all support pages there

Thanks Much

@lennox : well , Here is the code that will change the length of the_excerpt() to 20 words and the content 🙂

First , you add this function to functions.php :
if ( !function_exists( 'wallpress_excerpt_length' ) ) :
function wallpress_excerpt_length( $length ) {
 return 20;
}
endif;
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'wallpress_excerpt_length', 999 );

And then in content.php - line 61 :

you change "the_content()" to  "the_excerpt()"

Hope it works :D!

And in addition, in file functions.php from line 300 to 305 is where the “pagination” functions lies. If you want to remove , just delete it or you want to change it , just edit there 😀 . But in my opinion, u shouldn’t change it , because all the navigation of the page link together 😀
