Excerpt length (Box size in Frontend)

[julia kiessling]

Hi,

i need a solution, tha the boxes have all same size in frontend. I use ´Triple Event Style´ and Default view is ´Photo´.
All photos have same size, but the text is different long, is it possible to set somewhere that all boxes must have same size doesnt matter how much content (text) is in it?

Best would be that all boxes have same high, doesnt matter how long the headlines or text is, better it is cut up text than i have different sizes in the excerpt (preview).

Thank you very much!

Hi Julia!

Thanks for reaching out to us! Let me try to help you with that topic.

First, please note that we are limited in how much we can support custom development questions like that.

That said, we always like helping out and at least point users into the right direction as best possible.

I did find a way to achieve what you are looking for with some custom CSS. Try copy and pasting the following styles into your theme’s styles.css file, or by adding them via the WordPress customizer by going to your wp-admin > Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS

.fusion-blog-layout-grid .fusion-post-content-container {
margin-top: 20px;
height: 150px;
overflow: hidden;
}
#wrapper .post-content h2 {
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
{


Bear in mind this will hide part of the event title as well as the event excerpt, so it has some side effects that you might want to consider.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have other questions.

Best,
Victor
