Blog page list - truncated description not displaying
Permalink
I set up a blog on particular site I am working on, and went to add the "page list" block to the blog entry page, and used the "truncated description" to limit the description to 100 characters, but the description doesn't display at all, no matter what adjustments I make to the settings.
Any advice? See attached screenshots.

It could be because you didn't populate the '(short) description' field for the blog posts in their composer forms. This is different from entering content.
Yes- that seems to have cleared it up. For me it would make sense to offer the truncation from the content, and steer away from the short description altogether, because it seems like needless copying and pasting, but I know that some people like to tailor their excerpts in a particular way.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I tend to agree; that would be a nice option to have.
Glad you got it working. Of course, in your case, you don't need to copy-and-paste more than 100 characters!
