Truncated meta description

Hello

I noticed, via the source code, that the content of the meta description is cut off and is followed by $#8230;

I saw in the file /wp-content/plugins/asgaros-forum/includes/forum.php the function public function cut_string($string, $length = 33, $at_next_space = false)

I don’t know what $length = 33 does, because changed to 255, nothing happens.

So, following the function, there is // Return substring.

// Return substring.
if (function_exists('mb_substr')) {
return mb_substr($string, 0, $length, 'UTF-8').' $#8230;';
} else {
return substr($string, 0, $length).' $#8230;';
}

Which I changed to:

// Return substring.
$length = 255;
if (function_exists('mb_substr')) {
return mb_substr($string, 0, $length, 'UTF-8');
} else {
return substr($string, 0, $length);
}

Note: replace $ with &

In short: I don’t know what is expected of this function!
