Hi there! Great Theme. How can I shorten the excerpts at the front page, say to only 3 sentences?
Hi there!
This theme is LOVELY, thank you. I’ll let you know when a charity-based site I’m just putting together for my pal is done, so you can see
Can I ask – how do I set the featured video?
Mark
Unfortunately you can’t. The image is taken from Featured Image field.
Can I use this theme on WordPress.com or only on .org?
Hi Penny,
The themes we offer are for .org use only. WordPress.com has this to say.
This theme is free, but looks like premium, or even better, big THX for doing that
