I mentioned that I already tried that and it still did not work. I tried setting the drop down to post excerpts and Display Post Content with a character limit. And it still shows the full content for the first 2 post.

Now.... I did a little rummaging in the code and found this:

/** Add support for Genesis Grid Loop **/
function child_grid_loop_helper() {

if ( function_exists( 'genesis_grid_loop' ) ) {
remove_action( 'genesis_before_post_content', 'generate_post_image', 5 );
genesis_grid_loop( array(
'features' => 2,
'feature_image_size' => 'featured',
'feature_image_class' => 'alignleft post-image',
'feature_content_limit' => 0,
'grid_image_size' => 'grid',
'grid_image_class' => 'alignleft post-image',
'grid_content_limit' => 0,
'more' => __( 'Continue reading...', 'genesis' ),
'posts_per_page' => 6,
) );

If I change the "feature_content_limit" line to say 200.  The changes take affect on the home page.

The problem though is that I would like to keep the formatting of the post the same. I would like excerpts but the format to still show in that excerpt. When I change that line of code, it removes formatting for the excerpt on the home page.

You can see in the Generate theme demo, the formatting is still there in the excerpts on the home page (the bold letters)

Also, I would like to just have the setting work in theme settings. Strange that it isnt.

 

Thanks for your continued help 🙂

FYI, as far as the shrinking the image for grid post, this isnt super importnt. I can live with how it is.

I just really want to get this post excerpt issue resolved.

 

Thanks

Okay, as far as the featured image I was using the featured image uploader, I just didnt have the correct sizes. As you can see now, this corrected for the regular size post (not grid).

As for the grid, if I add a 290x130 featured image, it looks correct on the home page, but obvioulsy is still 290x130 on the blog post.  Is there a way to set it as the 610x170, but to auto shrink to 290x130 on the home page?

As far as the post excerpts. I has the option set in genesis setting and still not working. Also tried changing it to display post content and limit it to "x" number of characters and this did not work either.

I dont know if something is overriding these options somehow?

Thanks for your response btw
