<p>Quick Query is a snappy interface for WP_Query that makes querying with WordPress straightforward and concise. It’s built on top of WP_Query (with a few exceptions), and provides a much more flexible and accomodating interface for querying posts.</p>
<p>Learn more about Quick Query and see code examples <a href="https://github.com/pkarl/quick-query" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.</p>
<h3>Quick Query is under heavy development!</h3>
<p>I’m writing code + testing as fast as I can to get us to a good minimum set of functionality.</p>

<h3>The Future!</h3>
<p>Besides adding interfaces for the most common querying tasks (posts, tags, authors, sorting, etc.), I’d like to build in sensitivity to ACF fields/data and possibly a caching interface.</p>
<p>Before that can happen, there are lots of tests to be written and plenty of design decisions to be made (and, of course, documentation!).</p>
<h3>Who’s this for?</h3>
<p>This is certainly geared more toward developers than designers and hobbyists. That said, It does return WP_Post objects, so all/most of the functionality you’re used to may be there.</p>

<p>Do you have excerpts on multiple pages? Do you want to have them at different lengths?</p>
<p>With the Multiple Excerpt Lengths plugin, you can now control the length (in words) of excerpts present at various different templates throughout your WordPress site.</p>
<p>By default, <strong>WordPress sets the length of excerpts at 55 words</strong>. It is fairly simple to change this length – it only requires you to add a short piece of code to your functions.php file. However, once you add that code, it changes the length of <strong>ALL</strong> the excerpts present on your site, and you may not want that.</p>
<p>For example, you might want to shorten the length of the excerpts on your Front Page where you have 3 recent blog posts displayed horizontally in columns but you might not want to change the length of the excerpts on your Blog Page (which may be displaying 10 of your recent posts).</p>
<p>With this plugin, you’ll be able to change the length of excerpts present at various different locations throughout your site. By default, the plugin will keep the excerpts at 55 words. If you wish to change the length for a given page/template, you can do so by specifying a number for the appropriate page/template.</p>


Multiple Excerpt Lengths

I've spent a lot of time fiddling with code to change different excerpt lengths for not only myself but my customers and this plugin adds a dead-simple interface to do it. Killer work!



Dead simple, solves a common WordPress problem

Allows you to change the lengths of WordPress excerpts (the_excerpt) that are present at various pages/templates throughout your site.
