Short question:

How to change/ turn on a limit after for ex. 20 words in slider – (then see “read more…”)?

You can manually insert the “more” tag anywhere in your post to limit the excerpt length.

To do this globablly, you will need to use a child theme. Add this to your child theme’s functions file:
```
function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {

return 20;

}

add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );
```
Change “20” to however many words you would like your excerpt to be.

Working fine with installed plugin: Advanced Excerpt.
