Customizing the snippet
You can customize the read more by changing the values of the variables below:
- thumbnail_mode – set to “yes” if you want to show thumbnail with text summary. Set to other than “yes” to show only text summary.
- 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.
- img_thumb_height and img_thumb_width - specify the thumbnail height and width (in pixels).
- You can change the words “Read more” with your own by changing it in line 12 of the second part code.
