Great, a blog-like topic listing (together with Topic List Thumbnails Component)!
Can it be restricted by category like the other component?

Thanks, much appreciated.
I also take the chance to report that there is some kind of incompatibility with the Topic Thumbnails component, since the images appear twice for each topic in the topic list (topic list option on thumbnails component + topic excerpts component).

Love this component; thank you! Is there any way to adjust the word/character length of the excerpts displayed in topic lists? (Never mind, I found the topic excerpt maxlength site setting, adjusted it, and rebuilt HTML for the topic posts in question.)

Hi,why the read more is grey in my site but in yours is blue, how can i chane the color?

Hi, you can use CSS to customize.
For example, using the predefined color for links. Though, you can provide the color you want.
.topic-excerpt-more {
color: var(--tertiary);
}

Hi, this component gets rendered on the discourse docs plugin page and makes the excerpt clickable to the url of the discourse discussion not the doc url, is there anyway to avoid this from happening?
Hi, it’s possible to show the latest post instead of the first post?

There is a problem with the theme component in desktop?
when i have it enabled, thats shows avatars like that:
i have updated my discourse today
EDIT: IS there a way to limit the number of lines/characters for the excerpt?

The excerpt toggle button isn’t visible on mobiles. By desing, an accident or am I asking too early?
I love this! Is there any way to block excerpts from showing on private messages?

I’ve tried this component, and it doesn’t show excerpts on personal messages.
The excerpts themselves are generated by Discourse Core, using the same logic as the excerpts of ‘pinned’ topics. If you have a query / suggestion about how the excerpts are built, please make a new support topic.
Tip: you can keep line breaks in excerpts by adding this CSS to your theme:
