[Resolved] excerpts in a view loop

Hello.
I seem to be having problems finding out how to display only an excerpt of a post in a view that I created on my home page (pinoyinpoland.com)
On that page I have a section called "Latest job postings" and I just can't figure out how to only display an excerpt of the description and not the whole text.
I am looking for some sort of "Display excerpt " function but just can't find it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards

Hi there,

If you used the block view you have an option to display the excerpt instead of the whole content.

Use the Single Field block and on the right side select the content of the post and the post excerpt according to the attached screenshot.

If you use the legacy views, you have the "wpv-post-excerpt " shortcode to achieve the same thing:

Thanks.
