I would greatly appreciate some help, I have written a loop inside a list item however I'm looking to set a width and height on the thumbnail and display some expert "text" but limit the length of it...
<ul>
<!-- Define our WP Query Parameters -->
<?php $the_query = new WP_Query( 'posts_per_page=3' ); ?>
<!-- Start our WP Query -->
<?php while ($the_query -> have_posts()) : $the_query -> the_post(); ?>
<li>
<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
the_post_thumbnail('large');
}
?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</li>
<!-- Repeat the process and reset once it hits the limit -->
<?php
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();
?>
</ul>

Reset to default 0Add this function in your functions.php for specific size of thumbnail
add_image_size( 'custom-size', 220, 180 );
and fetch custom-size image. For excerpt length use this function.
function wp_example_excerpt_length( $length ) {
return 30;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'wp_example_excerpt_length');
