    Hi,

    I am trying this plug, but I found that this plug cannot handle Chinese characters well. I try to find the possible solution for it. I found one solution for the similar issue.

    Find /wp-includes/formatting.php

    if ( strpos( _x(‘words’, ‘Word count type. Do not translate!’ ), ‘characters’ ) === 0 && preg_match( ‘/^utf\-?8$/i’, get_option( ‘blog_charset’ ) ) ) {
    $text = trim( preg_replace( “/[\n\r\t ]+/”, ‘ ‘, $text ), ‘ ‘ );
    preg_match_all( ‘/./u’, $text, $words_array );
    $words_array = array_slice( $words_array[0], 0, $num_words + 1 );
    $sep = ”;
    } else {
    $words_array = preg_split( “/[\n\r\t ]+/”, $text, $num_words + 1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY );
    $sep = ‘ ‘;
    }
    Change ‘words’ to ‘characters_excluding_spaces’ or ’characters_including_spaces’.

    Can we have the feature added to this plug? thanks.

    Sorry to hear you’re having trouble!

    Yes I’d like to remove the custom excerpt function that’s in there now because of issues like this. But for the moment there is a new filter “ecs_event_excerpt” that you can use to create whatever excerpt you need. For example this in a functional plugin or functions.php (child theme) could work:

    function my_custom_ecs_excerpt( $excerpt ) {
    // you should be able to use get_the_excerpt() then modify as needed, before assigning to $excerpt
    return $excerpt;
}
add_filter( 'ecs_event_excerpt', 'my_custom_ecs_excerpt' );

    Let me know if you need any clarification. Thanks!

    Thanks for your advice.

    Actually, I already adopt that solution I posted to resolve the excerpt issue for Chinese characters, and it works well for plugins I used in my testing site.

    I am not good at PHP coding, so now, I only can skip excerpt first.

    Thanks.
