php - How can I limit the word count for get_the_content() on wordpress? -


i'm trying limit string output of get_the_content can't find anywhere on net on how this.

everything find regarding the_content().

i'm not using the_content because want string unformatted , because reason doesn't seem work right on loop posts have.

anyways, no how make get_the_content return specified number of characters of actual description? don't want resort using excerpt reserved other information i'm using.

i haven't tested think work..

go wp-includes/post-template.php

find get_the_content() function

at end of function, there is

return $output; 

before final line, add

$output = preg_replace("/((\s+\s+){1,13}).*/s","\\1",strip_tags($output)); 

so you're left with

    $output = preg_replace("/((\s+\s+){1,13}).*/s","\\1",strip_tags($output));  return $output; 

the part you'll want change number "13" in code above - put number of words want display

let me know how works you
