[Support request] Excerpt Word Count

[Christopher]

Is there any way that I can increase the word count for the excerpt for the featured post? I would like to say a little bit more before the read more button.

Hi there,

Give this a shot:

add_filter( 'excerpt_length', function( $length ) {
    if ( in_array( 'featured-column', get_post_class() ) ) {
        return 100;
    }

    return $excerpt;
}, 100 );

Let me know 🙂

Where do I put that?

That code is PHP.
