Hi,
I’ve 5 “Popular post view” widgets in my homepage (1 for events and 4 for CPTs), but only widgets with List and 2 columns grid view are showing the excerpt text. For all widgets, the excerpt character count is set to 100, but if I select the 3 or 4 columns grid view option, no excerpt is shown.
The same behavior happens in the category pages.

Do I get the excerpt changing something in the css or in the function file?

Thanks,
gianni

Hi Gianni, I guess that the reason is that there would hardly be any room for an excerpt. But I have alerted the others to see whether they have any pointers for you.

Hi Guust,
actually, if you have a 3 column view on the homepage (100% width, no sidebars), you have too much room to leave the listings without an excerpt, it looks quite empty.

But, no matter how many columns grid view you have set, you’ll always get a 1 column grid view when accessing the site from an iPhone, or a 2 column view on the iPad, so the excerpt really would be helpful.

If someone don’t want the excerpt to show up, just put a 0 value on the word count option… but the option to have the excerpt on every grid view should be really appealing.

Thx for considering this option,
best regards,
gianni

I believe it’s just hidden with CSS, you can unhide it if you wish.

Thanks Stiofan,
it’s a learning curve for me, i’m trying to do my best 😉
```
.geodir_category_list_view li.geodir-gridview .geodir-content .geodir-entry-content {
display: inline;
}
```
I think you can mark the topic as resolved.

Tweak worked well for me, thanks:
wp-content/plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory-assets/css/style.css
```
.geodir_category_list_view li.geodir-gridview .geodir-content .geodir-entry-content {
    display: inline;
}

.geodir_category_list_view li.geodir-gridview.gridview_onehalf .geodir-content .geodir-entry-content {
    display: inline;
}
```
