FREE block. Displays the post excerpt for a fundraising action. Designed for use inside Query Loop card templates on archive pages.
Why use this
Archive grids need a brief text snippet for each action card. The Description block handles excerpt generation automatically, including fallback to trimmed post content when no manual excerpt exists.
What it does
The block reads the post excerpt. If no excerpt has been manually written, it takes the post content and trims it to the number of words set by the excerptLength attribute. It supports Query Loop context.
How to use it
- Inside a Query Loop block, add the Description block.
- Set the Excerpt Length in the inspector to control how many words appear when there is no manual excerpt.
Settings and options
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Excerpt length | number | 20 | Maximum word count when auto-generating from post content |
What you can and cannot do
- Manual excerpts are always shown in full, regardless of the excerpt length setting.
- The block does not expose an output filter.
- It supports Query Loop context.
