ParticipantHow do you set a category to be displayed when first viewing the page? Right now, it’s set to default at seeing all the entries, but I would prefer to have it on a category upon initial viewing.
I currently have each name (as well as the “read more” option) linking to a separate page, which is great. However, how can I change the image size on the linked page? I like the 100×120 thumbnail size, but when the name or “read more” is clicked, I would prefer to see a 225×300 sized version of the same image with the full content.

Keymaster@ Jeremy
I would like to apologize for my delay in my reply as I was not receiving my notices for new support forum posts for about a week. Just reply notices to ones that were already started which is why I’m just now noticing.
You could use the category shortcode option. that should do the trick.
As for the image size on the single entry. The only way to change that is to edit the template’s core PHP file. Here’s how:
Open this file:
../wp-content/plugins/excerpt-plus/card-single.phpChange this:
$entry->getImage( array( 'image' => 'photo' , 'height' => 120 , 'width' => 100 , 'fallback' => array( 'type' => 'block' , 'string' => 'No Photo Available' ) ) );To this:
$entry->getImage( array( 'image' => 'photo' , 'height' => 300, 'width' => 225, 'fallback' => array( 'type' => 'block' , 'string' => 'No Photo Available' ) ) );Hope that helps!

GuestThank you for getting back to me! I changed the dimensions of the image displayed in card-single.php, but the image now overlaps on top of the text/biography section. Any ideas?

You should adjust the CSS to accommodate the new image size. Make the change to the
excerpt-plus.cssfile and then duplicate that file and name itexcerpt-plus.min.css. Upload both overwriting the originals. -
