hi, does anyone know how to set up the k2 category display options.

my site is grimsbypeoplemagazine.in2town.co.uk/category-menu

and i would like it to look like this

www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news

but i cannot work out how to do it.

i have tried everything but when i put in for there to be only 30 words, it does not work, it either displays all the article or nothing

any help would be great

To your category parameters, under "Item view options in category listings" choose to show introtext with a 30 word limit.
Make sure that you have introtext separated from the fulltext in your items.

hi, how do you mean seperate them

Use the read more button of your editor, or enable separate editors for your intro and full text. This option is located under the Advanced parameters of K2.
