This plugin let's you configure a way of shortening too long titles.
As of April 2026, CRS Post Title Shortener is a WordPress title plugin with 10 active installations and a 0/5 rating0. It has been downloaded 1.2K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 3.0.1+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2018. Last updated 8 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: Title Remover.
I developed this plugin to meet my own needs. I use the Intagrate Lite plugin to fetch Instagram posts and publish them as
WordPress posts on my blog. However, the text of the Instagram post becomes the title of the WordPress post,
and many times the title is too long.
With this plugin, you may configure a max length of the title, and also specific characters to look for as the
end of a sentece. I also added a setting to only include specific categories.
