Excerpt and Content Word Limit WordPress Plugin
After I posted Limiting the Number of Words in Your Excerpt or Content in WordPress I thought it would be a good idea to actually create a little plugin for those who aren’t actually code hackers.
If you require help or support, please visit the Support Forum and ask all your questions there. Questions about themes or plugins posted in the comments below will not be answered.
Guys, how can I get the “Read More” to open the article in a new window? This plugin is working great on the RSS feeds I bring in, I just want them to open in a new window.
Thanks,
Chris
Nevermind… I just changed the code in the Plugin’s php file to target=”_blank”. Maybe a good addition to the next plugin, asking the user their preferred TARGET of the readmore link
I have content limited to 30.
I have a post in the loop with only 7 words on content and it’s shows only 6 words on the page.
I also have some longer posts that it seems to limit just fine.
What gives?
Hi,
But i have a little “Problem”.
first of all thanks for this plugin. It works great.
WHen i use the excerpt(’10′) is shows me the first 10 words but it shows me under a “READ MORE” link…
Since my blog is not in englisht i want remove or translate that part… is that possible? How can i handle this problem. It will be very helpfull if u can suggest me something.
Thanks a lot in advance
There is the option to change this in the plugins option page.

greets from germany jake
Great idea. Because of a design flaw in my theme, a long excerpt messes up the read more link, so limiting it with keep my front page looking uniform.
Thanks!
This is really a great plug-in. Thank you!
This is just the plugin I require for my latest project, thanks dude

Ok I have two paragraphs with two more links and a limit of 25 words each…. I only want one more link to show, but still have a limit on 25 words each…. how do i go about doing this?
Great share, great article, very usefull for me. Your thought of article is very much creative and interesting to read.
Great plugin,
I’d like to show image within the excerpts and can’t figure out what to change in the code. Any tips? Right now, it’s showing this info instead of the image:
[caption id="attachment_35" align="alignnone" width="575" caption="A Caption"][/caption]
I am excerpting content not an excerpt. Thanks!
Hi Bavotasan, really liking this *fully* functional word limit plugin. Great bit of coding work !
Great Plugin, but im not sure in which context it could be used?
Does it work with the new version 3.0?
hands of health, thank you for your effort…
Hi,
I have the same issue with Robert. Any answer?
I mean about the image that doesn’t show…
This is so helpful to me on some of my blogs, been looking for an easy way to limit text without hacking the code. WordPress is so versatile, best CMS ever! Thanks for the great wordpress plugin.
