selective content

  • Is there a way to be able to select a certain portion of the content for a description and limit it to 20 words or something?

  • You probably want to look at the excerpt tag. This will select ‘x’ number of characters from a post, but I think it will only select from the start of the post.

    Hi,

    Add this code in functions.php file of your theme:

    function excerpt($num) {
$limit = $num+1;
$excerpt = explode(' ', get_the_excerpt(), $limit);
array_pop($excerpt);
$excerpt = implode(" ",$excerpt)."...";
echo $excerpt;
}

    Instead of using the_excerpt in your loop use excerpt(‘word-limit’) so if you want to limit your excerpt to 25 words the code would look like this:

    <? php excerpt(’25’); ?>

    Thanks,

    Shane G.
