First, I wouldn’t modify the string/word length of the content. Semantically, you’re dealing with an excerpt, so let’s focus on that. Second, to limit the number of words returned for the excerpt, simply filter excerpt_length: <?php function wpse52673_filter_excerpt_length( $length ) { // Return (integer) value for // word-length of excerpt return 150; } add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, … Read more
I’m going to give you a hard-coded solution to this problem, rather than using a plugin. If you’re heart is set on a plugin that is fine – but this short code is rather simple and hopefully helpful for your purposes. This code is basically just adding a CSS class to a shortcode. First, deactivate … Read more
You can add it straight to the template before the header in most cases… <?php /* Template Name: Products */ ?> <?php add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, function( $length ) { return 10; }, 999); get_header(); ?> These should work as well if you’d rather put in functions.php: Method 2: In the loop $slug = get_page_template_slug($post->ID); if(‘page-products.php’ == … Read more

Method with maximum height Let’s say your post template has its content like this: <div id=”content”><?php the_content(); ?></div> You need to add a … Read more

You can modify the […] with simple function you place in functions.php function wpdocs_excerpt_more( $more ) { return ‘<a href=”‘.get_permalink( get_the_ID() ).'”>[…]</a>’; } add_filter( ‘excerpt_more’, ‘wpdocs_excerpt_more’ );
You should use a custom page for this. For reference, we can modify the default (twentynineteen) post content block. Depending on your theme, you may need to modify single.php, or a content block included from there.
