    Hello,

    Is there a way to truncate the blog title for the enfold grid layout? Some of my titles are very long and look weird next to shorter titles in the grid format. I know how to do it for a regular theme, but it requires access to the title code in the template. I do not see the title code in the index template and I don’t want to edit the parent files.

    Thank you,
    Bjorn

    Hi bjornwallman!

    Thank you for using Enfold.

    Add this on functions.php:

    function limit_words($string, $word_limit){
	$words = explode(" ",$string);
	return implode(" ",array_splice($words,0,$word_limit)) . '...';
}

    Edit config-template-builder > postslider.php, find this code on line 372:

    $output .= !empty($title) ? "<h3 class='slide-entry-title entry-title' $markup><a href='{$link}' title='".esc_attr(strip_tags($title))."'>".$title."</a></h3>" : '';

    Replace it with:

    $blogtitle = limit_words($title,5);
                    $output .= !empty($title) ? "<h3 class='slide-entry-title entry-title' $markup><a href='{$link}' title='".esc_attr(strip_tags($blogtitle))."'>".$blogtitle."</a></h3>" : '';

    This will limit the title to 5 words. Adjust it on this line:

    $blogtitle = limit_words($title,5);

    Regards,
    Ismael

    Is there no way to do this within the child theme and without having to edit the parent theme?
