    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
