How to make Wordpress in a category display news announcements (zag, picture and a couple of lines) with the inscription "read more", and not the whole news?

Answer 1

you need wp function which is called custom_excerpt_length

/* Change Excerpt length */
function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
return 30;
}
add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, ‘custom_excerpt_length’, 999 );

or just cut

wp_trim_words( get_the_content(), $num_words = 20, $more = null )
