I want to trim wordpress blog post title to minimum 15 characters, there are many posts are there in the page and i want to trim the title using jquery or javascript to minimum 15 characters of each post. thank you.

Solution

  • This should do the trick. It finds every title on the page, trims it to fifteen characters and adds "..." - Unless you are then doing some kind of "show/hide" effect or something else, this would likely be better accomplished in php ;)

    $(".entry-title a").each (function () {
  if ($(this).text().length > 15)
    $(this).text($(this).text().substring(0,15) + '...');
});
