• Update ‘the_content_limit();’ with ‘lpao_the_content();’
• Update ‘get_the_content();’ with ‘lpao_get_the_content();’
Limit-Post is one of the better WordPress post content limiters we have come across, both in terms of usability and size. Developed by labitacora.net Limit-Post provides excellent control over the post character-length and even adds the ability to create a “read more …” link with a single line of code.
