<p>This plugin changes the post content area on the blog archive page to show the excerpt instead of the full content. Users will also be able to modify the size of the featured image.</p>
<p>This plugin is built to work with the Storefront Theme. This plugin is fully compatible with the Storefront Blog Customizer premium plugin by Woothemes.</p>
<p><strong>How to use:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Once the plugin is activated, it will automatically enable the blog excerpt, replacing the content block on the archive pages (blog, tags, category and date archives).</li>
<li>To modify the settings, login to your WordPress dashboard.</li>
<li>Navigate to Customize page under Appearance.</li>
<li>Find the Blog Excerpt section. This should be located after the Layout section.</li>
<li>In this section you will be able to modify the following properties:
<ul>
<li>Excerpt word count – default value is 55</li>
<li>Excerpt word end – default value is … hellip</li>
<li>Read more button text – default value is “Read more”</li>
<li>Featured image size – default value is “full”</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> If featured value is set to thumbnail, the image will be assigned with the class “alignleft”, which means it will float to the left side, with a right margin for spacing.</p>
