I am using the listing shortcode on the homepage.

My goal is to have 4 listings going across with, as an example, the first 100 characters listed under it. I was able to get the shortcode to work. It shows the image and place name. How do I get the brief description to appear under it?

I have looked at the documentation and cannot figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try character_count=”100″
ex.
```
[gd_listings post_type="gd_place" layout=4 post_number="4" character_count="100"]
```

That did not work. I am using a StudioPress theme.

For grid 4 and 5 I think we hide it with css, because it doesn’t look that good. If you provide a link we’ll give you css to show it.

Thanks

Hi Marie,

Thanks for your reply. Could you add more listings so that I could check on the CSS?

Thanks!

Thank you for taking a look. I am trying to get the first 100 characters or so to appear underneath of it, kind of like a brief description.

I added character_count=”100″ in the code but nothing appears.

Hi Marie,

please paste this CSS into GeoDirectory > Design > Scritps > Custom CSS:
```
.geodir_category_list_view li.geodir-gridview .geodir-content .geodir-entry-content {
    display: block;
}
```
It should work.

Let us know,

Thanks
