    Hi, I need some help with the GRS excerpt. I have a function on my theme (based on Genesis Sample) to control the posts excerpt length:

    //* Modify the length of post excerpts
    add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'sp_excerpt_length' );
    function sp_excerpt_length( $length ) {
    	return 30; // pull first 30 words
    }

    I need a shorter excerpt for the slider, but this function overwrites its settings. I also noticed that if I remove this function, the slider excerpt length isn't the one I chose in the settings.

    I appreciate any idea, suggestion or solution.

    Thanks in advance.

    As usual, I just need to post here for the solution to appear magically in front of my eyes...
