To modify the settings, login to your WordPress dashboard. 3. Navigate to Customize page under Appearance. 4. Find the Blog Excerpt section. This should be located after the Layout section. 5.

Unfortunately no. This plugin was designed to work for the Storefront theme, utilizing Storefront’s action hooks and filters. Activating the plugin while using a different theme will trigger a warning. ### I’ve activated the plugin, where can I access the settings? The settings for this plugin can be found in the Customize page under Appearance. In that page, find the section named “Blog Excerpt”. ### Is it possible for users to create custom excerpts? Users may create custom excerpts using WordPress default excerpt field. If you’re not seeing it when editing a post, you’ll just have to enable it via the screen options. Note that your custom excerpt will also be trimmed in respect with the word count you’ve set on the customizer. ### Instead of floating to the left, I want the thumbnail image to float to the right with a left margin. How do I do that? To do this, you’ll just have to apply the following code on your theme’s (preferably a child theme) functions.php file. ``` add_filter( 'woa_sf_blog_excerpt_image_float', woa_excerpt_thumbnail_float); function woa_excerpt_thumbnail_float() { return 'alignright'; } ``` ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/405ae9e583b1c9fbc5b89e0e35c5290420fa0438d4537d0c7d964dc94754155c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[A great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-great-plugin-426/)󠁿 [webmasterscr](https://profiles.wordpress.org/webmasterscr/) January 5, 2024 A must-have plugin to make Storefront's blog archive acceptable. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8cecb24141cf63e1de6ac0f4fc5a7e000e9d8ddf563246eeb5a1dbaaa7d39e41? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Top Stuff – Good Work – I needed this](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/top-stuff-good-work-i-needed-this/)󠁿 [Smolle](https://profiles.wordpress.org/smolle/) July 29, 2020 Now the readers are forced to look at the page that it is on so they can leave comments.

I use storefront, and I have a blog. I want people to be able to see a bunch of blog posts instead of getting bogged down in the first long-winded writing they come across. This does it, by itself, and doesn't break anything else. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/81c3a1670548be70bdd90fa7d441cc1f7107d366f8c769c1f421e330137adffc? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[thanks](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thanks-1694/)󠁿 [chenligo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chenligo/) December 4, 2019 you save me! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/de7c538a4e649314d3d10d29ae759407c4fd33ce7a2d56c82a759140c26266b6? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Only had it for two minutes](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/only-had-it-for-two-minutes/)󠁿 [thesamantics](https://profiles.wordpress.org/thesamantics/) January 7, 2019 I've only had this installed for a couple of minutes and already I had to give a five-star review. As soon as you activate the plugin, it automatically changes the blog feed. Of course, you can configure it however you'd like, but it looks great on a mobile device with the pre-set adjustments. After spending almost all of yesterday trying to get a plugin to work (for a totally different purpose), this was a huge relief. Thank you! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b99562802e46a88c440266cce0ef6b7db157c28112d4402b208db21bede917fa? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works like a charm!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-like-a-charm-1279/)󠁿 [mattdew](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mattdew/) July 3, 2018 Thank you so much for this!
