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!

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.

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