  Hi Team

  With the portfolio shortcode, how do I limit the amount of text in the description box below the featured image? Is this to be coded into the portfolio shortcode tag itself?

  Thanks,

  Ben

  Hi there.

  You can use Custom Excerpts to control the amount of text that the portfolio shortcode pulls in:

  The support guide I linked to gives a step-by-step walk through on setting this up. Let me know if it brings up any questions or if I can be of help with anything else.

  Hi Siobhyb

  Thanks so much for that! I worked out how to remove the excerpt by removing the description altogether as a last resort.

  Appreciate the link!
