  Hi,
  
  We have the recent blog posts on the home page using the post grid functionality in VC. How do we alter the length of the excerpt in characters. We have provided the link below.

  Hello,
  
  Please go to the post option panel, at the right-top corner of the screen, find “Screen Options“. Open and check the “Excerpt” box. Go the the excerpt box of the post and add as much text as you wish to show.
  
  This is a Visual Composer element not edited from the theme. So it’s files are not overwriten from theme in the “vc-templates” folder. If you want you can change it’s code in file: wp-content\plugins\js_composer\include\templates\shortcodes\vc_gitem but we do not recomend it as it will prevent you from taking important future plugin updates.
  
  Best regards!

  Mihaila,
  
  Thank you for the detailed explanation. We’re going to just leave the excerpt the way it is due to it being part of the VC plugin.
