Another way to shorten the excerpt would be:
<?php $shortex = substr(get_the_excerpt(), 0, 170);echo $shortex; echo "rn"; ?>
as a replacement for the_excerpt, the last number above is the number of characters to display.
Even one more:
by putting the function ’string_limit_words‘ in your functions.php you could call this function from anywhere in your theme.
Take your functions.php from your theme folder or, if there is none, create one, and put at the end this:
<?php
function string_limit_words($string, $word_limit)
{
$words = explode(‚ ‚, $string, ($word_limit + 1));
if(count($words) > $word_limit)
array_pop($words);
return implode(‚ ‚, $words);
}
?>
Now, whereever you want to display a shortened excerpt use this:
<?php $excerpt = get_the_excerpt(); echo string_limit_words($excerpt,25) . " …rn"; ?>
where the 25 is the number of words displayed
