character limit on titles

[sankParticipant]

hi can we have a character limit on titles so they are not so long, and have a “…” after something like 40 characters?

Hi,

Yes, it is possible with a small modification and a custom code. Follow the steps below, I will try to guide you. If you need help with editing the files, you can fill the ticket details with FTP access, and I will do it for you.

1. Open up the wp-content\plugins\related-posts-pro\includes\related_content.class.php file on your server and change line 1514 from this:

$this->post[$key] = apply_filters('rpp_item_after_postprocessing', $post);

to this:

$this->posts[$key] = apply_filters('rpp_item_after_postprocessing', $this->posts[$key]);

2. Then add this code snippet to the functions.php file in your active theme directory (copy from line 4):

3. Open the plugin settings and save them without changing anything, so the cache will be cleared.

The titles should appear trimmed now.

Best,
Ernest Marcinko
