It’s very nice! Can I somehow limit the number of characters in an excerpt?

There is a site setting in discourse topic_excerpt_maxlength . IIRC this will only apply to new topics - if you want to apply the change to existing topics you will need to ‘rebake’ them.

This command don’t help me: $ cd /var/discourse $ ./launcher enter app $ rake posts:rebake

[image] Varhall: don’t help me: What happened? Did it show an error?

Change in site settings: [image] No erros: # cd /var/discourse # ./launcher enter app # rake posts:rebake Rebaking post markdown for 'default' 4805 / 4805 (100.0%) 4805 posts done!

And the excerpts are still more than 100 characters? Is the change working for new topics?

More 100 characters now, but in settings 100: [image]

Don’t working for new topics too

How to solve this problem? Any ideas?

Is this the right setting? I noticed my excerpts are as long as 300 characters, which is the default setting for post excerpt maxlength.

I think that you need to rebake the posts in order for those settings to apply to older ones.
