    Hi. I am a newbie. How do I adjust the amount of text that shows in a slider? No matter what I do, too much text or not enough text displays in a slider.

    For example: In my Become an Actor slider, the following text appears:

    Thought about becoming an actor but don't know where to begin? Here are our …

    I want to remove "Here are our..." from the slider but not from the page.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Jennifer,

    This can be done through the slider settings and use of the post excerpt.

    In the WordPress admin panel, Genesis > Slider Settings > Content Settings >> Select one of the following:
    choose "Display Post Excerpts".

    Then for each slider post, write your custom excerpt text in the "Excerpt" section. If the Excerpt section is not visible in the post editor, Scroll to the top of the screen, click "Screen Options", ensure "Excerpt" is checked.


    Choose your next site design from over 350 Genesis themes.
