Hi Wayne,

We use the except length as the default of wordpress. However, you can change the length by keeping this code in your functions.php

add_filter('excerpt_length', 'my_excerpt_length');
function my_excerpt_length($length) {
   return 20; // Change 20 to your desire length
}

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Sneha,

You need to edit this file. wp-masonry-layout/themes/default/layout.php. And under line, please add read more link.

But please avoid updating this plugin, if you do you will loose these custom changes.

Thanks
