Content in Featured Image Slider

[flourishdesignstudio+ 10]

Hi there!I'm making progress with my featured image slider. But, I am still having trouble with: a) getting the content to 'cut off' well (it seems to extend out of the designated area and then getting it to link to the article that is featured. Thanks so much for your help!

Hi Shaun! Here's the link to the site that I am working on... http://www.moosewoodcooks.com/home/ Thanks so much for taking a look!

I took a look and you are going to have to make a decision. Option 1: Through using custom css reduce the font-size for that area only. Option 2: Be more concise with your copy. The slides are flashing to fast to read anyhow. Now, if that slider is using featured posts from your "blog", then you could control the excerpt length through the dashboard. The link would be to the post of course and will occur automatically. If the features are not from the "blog", then you can assign the link in each Feature's Edit page in the Pagelines Meta Settings underneath the editor. FYI: Good looking site!

Thanks so much for the suggestion! The excerpt length is a perfect solution. Don't suppose you can point me to where I would find that, could you? Thanks again!

I found a plugin to specify the excerpt length and it seems to work, but it doesn't automatically link to the recipe/post. Any suggestions?

Have you considered this solution for changing the excerpt length?: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_excerpt#Examples
