I’m using your plugin and in the theme I downloaded it was originally only shown on the front index page, but I would like to use it on a sidebar. Problem is, the content has stopped limiting. It shows the entire post and I can’t figure out how to fix it. Strangely enough there’s no problems at all on pages. Nothing was changed in the coding so I don’t know what would cause it.

@Doc4 I believe you want:

.read-more a {
   color: #333333;
   text-transform: uppercase;
   }

.read-more a:hover {
   color: #465782;
   }

Sorry for this stupid question but, how can i change the color of the “Read More” link? I’m looking anything on my css and and everywhere on my php files. But didn’t found any luck.

Im using creativepress wordpress themes from web2feel by the way..

Thanks for the plugin. Been looking for something like this all day. Work perfectly on one of my blog. Thanks

Please help.

Your plugin does not work at all for me.
The home page with posts is not changed.

Loaded plugin.
Edited limit-post.php

‘, ‘]]>’, $content);

if (strlen($_GET['p']) > 0) {
echo $content;
}
else if ((strlen($content)>$max_char) && ($espacio = strpos($content, ” “, $max_char ))) {
$content = substr($content, 0, $espacio);
$content = $content;
echo $content;
//echo “<a href='";
//the_permalink();
echo "…";
echo "”;
echo “”;
echo “”.$more_link_text.”";
}
else {
echo $content;
}
}

function get_the_content_limit($max_char, $more_link_text = ‘(120, more…)’, $stripteaser = 0, $more_file = ”) {
$content = get_the_content($more_link_text, $stripteaser, $more_file);
$content = apply_filters(‘get_the_content’, $content);
$content = str_replace(‘]]>’, ‘]]>’, $content);
$content = strip_tags($content);

if (strlen($_GET['p']) > 0) {
echo $content;
}
else if ((strlen($content)>$max_char) && ($espacio = strpos($content, ” “, $max_char ))) {
$content = substr($content, 0, $espacio);
$content = $content;
echo $content;
//echo “<a href='";
//the_permalink();
echo "…";
echo "”;
echo “”;
echo “”.$more_link_text.”";
}
else {
echo $content;
}
}

?>

Thank you for the file, Doc4.

I have 1) Deactivated the plug-in 2) deleted the original and uploaded the new file 3) activated the plug in.
However, the same problems persist. Most of my posts are either turned to italic or bold fonts and many posts are shown in a cell of a table. Also, hyperlinks are crossed out. You can see them on my website.
I have tried with several different themes, but I get the same result…

Actually, the same problem happens when I try to use WP Limit Posts Automatically (“WPLPA”) plug-in. With WPLPA, unless I choose paragraph option, if I choose to limit posts by words or characters, the same problem happens as with your plug in.

Doc4, if you don’t mind, could you please tell me how I can change the codes to display 2 Paragraphs instead of, say, 400 words? Judging from my exprience of playing around with WPLPA, it seems paragraph display somehow fixes this formatting run-over problem, however, I want to show 2 paragraphs not 1 paragraph.

Thank you for your patience and kindness.

Doc4,
Thank you for your kind instruction. Honestly, I don’t think I know how to follow your instruction especially for Line 38.

I changed Line 59 from
echo “‘>”.$more_link_text.”";
to
echo “‘>”.$more_link_text.”";

However, I don’t know how to change line 38. Line 38 is:
function get_the_content_limit($max_char, $more_link_text = ‘(more…)’, $stripteaser = 0, $more_file = ”) {
So, where in this line should I add
echo “‘>”.$more_link_text.”";

Thank you very much for your kindness.

Aileen

Thanks for your suggestion… I’ll try it immdiately.
Ciao.

Good evening
after installing your plugin, I noticed that actually breaks up the text, but, unfortunately, completely replace the two sidebar under the end of the post and, among other things, make the font bold some text comments.
I note that I have installed the editor FCKEditor For WordPress.
Any suggestions, please?.
Greetings and thank you very much!
Frank

i got some thing like u said and i tried to config it and the page is not loading,mine theme is a magazine theme can u help me with this?

how to performed step 5/6 below? change the plugin code? where is “_content()”? then would posts be shortened automatically after activation?

thx

1. Download the plugin and expand it.
2. Copy the d4-limitpost-addon folder into your plugins folder ( wp-content/plugins ).
3. Log-in to the WordPress administration panel and visit the Plugins page.
4. Locate the Limit Post plugin and click on the activate link.
5 Replace the_content(); with the_content_limit(200, “continue…”); or
6. Replace the_content(); with get_the_content_limit(200, “continue…”);

Hi there.

Addon is just what I am looking for, but I can’t make it work. I can’t find the_content(); anywhere, hence I can’t replace it .D

Kind regards…
