## Beskriuwing

Adds an Excerpt Length field setting to the Reading Settings section. This value
is used to specify the number of words that you would like to appear in the [the_excerpt()](https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt).

## Ynstallaasje

 1. Unzip the excerpt-length.zip file.
 2. Upload the `excerpt-length` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 4. Go to the Reading Settings section and specify the length of the excerpt.

## FAQ

  Why did you create this plugin?

Until now, there were 3 ways to change the word length of the excerpt, by either
modifying a core file (`formatting.php`), or replacing the `wp_trim_excerpt` filter
in your theme’s `functions.php` code, or by using a different plugin (requiring 
you to edit your theme/templates).

This plugin simply adds a new field setting to the Reading section called **Excerpt
Length**. The value you set limits the number of words displayed when `the_excerpt()`
is called by your theme.

  Does it work for WordPress version x.x.x?

This plugin only works in WordPress 2.7 and above. This is due to new API calls 
that were made available in version 2.7. It will not work in earlier version of 
WordPress (2.6 and below).

  Does this plugin change the formatting of the_excerpt?

No, this plugin has one sole purpose, that is to enable you to change the word length
of the excerpt.

  Excerpt Suffix

In version 1.1 of Excerpt Length I have added a new field called **Excerpt Suffix**.
This is used to replace the default `[...]` text that is appended to the excerpt
length. You can now used whatever text you like as the suffix.
