Hi Webmaster,
I am using Pixdesign Silver, and my archive page does not look very neat since each post has a lot of text and they are all displayed as the post's summary.
Following is the archive page I am now struggling with;
http://www.nit-development.co.uk/ja/index.php/category/solutions/it_infrastructure/
Is it possible to configure the summary length for archive page?
Thank you so much for your help!
Kind regards,

Hi Mio,
The PixDesign Silver Theme uses the_excerpt function to display content in the archive page. There are a lot of approaches in changing the length of the excerpt. The easiest is this.
Go to function.php and add the following lines at the bottom of the page.
function new_excerpt_length($length) { return 20; }
add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length');
You can actually see this tutorial here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/excerpt_length
Hope this helps,
WPTD Webmaster

Dear Webmaster,
Thank you so much for your reply.
I tried to change the length by this function however, it seems impossible to limit the length of archive with this function since we are creating website in Japanese language which does not put "blank" between each words; it seems all the text is recognized as one single word by this function.
Is there any possible way to limit the length of archive by number of characters?
Thank you so much for your help.
Kind regards,
MIO
