Is there a setting or adjustment I can make to reduce the white space between my post name/date and the start of the content? (See improvingsports.com)

I’m using wordpress 3.6. I installed this plugin and it worked. But i cant find any settings to custom excerpt. The “read more” is right after the last word, without no space. And excerpt is too short. I need help to fix these prob.
September 08, 2013
Hi, the exceprt should be on : setting -> read more. is it there ?
September 09, 2013
Seem that i can not find any settings button. As you can see in below image. Akismet plugin has its own settings button, but “Easy custom Auto Excerpt” doesnt have ones. Maybe Easy Excerpt does not compatible with WordPress 3.6. Or another reason which i dont know.
Hope that i can fix this prob asap 🙂
September 09, 2013
the settings button is under the Settings tab, not the direct plugin. Navigate to Settings –> Excerpt Settings
Cheers,
Jake

Hi I am using your plugin and I use a small 150 wide pic in the post at the beginning and it shows up nicely in the post excerpt to the left however when I use a pic in my signature at the bottom of the post the excerpt wants to grab the second picture which doesn’t look so good having a pic of myself next to each excerpt. The pic I use at the beginning of the post usually portrays something relevant to the post. Do you have a fix for this so I can routinely get the first pic in the post to show up in the excerpt. Otherwise very nice plugin. http://www.auntm.com

Hi Aunty,
At the moment it is not posible to extract the picture on the bottom. The plugin will only get the image on top of the post (or on the word boundary). If you really do accomplish what you want to do ( picture – excerpt – signature ) what you can do is to do a create manual excerpt and put it on the excerpt area bellow the text area. This excerpt area can be activated using excerpt option on the screen option ( top of the page when you edit post) hope this help 🙂

Hi, I installed this plugin, works great on my home page but doesn’t have effect on the categoryarchive page excerpts, except maybe override the thumbnail picture size which is now way too big… Any suggestion to make this work?
Thank you very much!
October 04, 2013
Me again… I wanted to specify I am using 3.6.1 wp version. This is a category archive page:

October 10, 2013
does it work on your search page ?
October 09, 2013
I installed this plugin, but it doesn’t show the first image in a post, even though I checked the “display image in excerpt” box. Any idea how to fix it?
October 10, 2013
can you show me link to your page ? we need to debug the html source. Without that its impossible to do any help 🙂

To remove the readmore link please enter “-” on the readmore options (without quote)
October 15, 2013
The readmore link has dissapeared after a recent jetpack update?
October 16, 2013
Please update, there’s mistake in 1.0.5 release
October 16, 2013
I liked the plug in except that it continues to show “read more” when the link is not needed. This happens even though the full text of the post is shown (post text length was less than the set limit.)
October 16, 2013
just put “-” in your readmore text, it will remove the readmore (from the options page)
October 16, 2013
BTW, the calculation of post lenght is including the HTML tag (
, etc) you may set the limit a little bit more of you write.
October 17, 2013
The read more link is back in the latest update but only cycles back round to the same page with the excerpt. It does not goto the full post???
October 22, 2013
What themes are you using sir ?
October 22, 2013
Doesn’t work. What are the shortcodes I’m suppose to install on my page?
October 22, 2013
Hi ! some themes provide their own excerpt mechanism, like this blog do.. it is something we can’t do..

Let’s say there is two small paragraphs in my post but I only want to show the first one without showing any other words from the second and without putting a number of characters cause it changes within the posts, how could I achieve this ?
Thank you very much !

Hi !
Unfortunately at this moment our plugin cannot archive that automagicaly. You must use read more button for that : https://tonjoostudio.com/addons/easy-custom-auto-excerpt/#manual.

Hello!
Really GREAT plugin!!
Today I want to know how to increase the “Read more” font size.
Thanks in advance for any help 🙂
July 11, 2014
Hi,
You can increase your “Read more” font size by changing the custom css value, for example:
.ecae-button { font-size: 28px !important; }
