- summary_img – specify the number of characters (including spaces) you want to show in the summary, with thumbnail.
- summary_noimg – specify the number of characters (including spaces) you want to show in the summary, when there is no thumbnail.

- You can change the words “Read more” with your own by changing it in line 12 of the second part code.
