Sometime in WordPress we have a requirement that there should be only specific number of Character in our post and there should be read more link which should navigate to some other page. It is very important if you want to show only some lines of data on main page. You can use following code snippet to do this.
<?php
$post_excerpt= limit_post_characters(get_the_content(), get_permalink(),97, “ Read more” ); echo $post_excerpt;
?>
<?php
$post_excerpt= limit_post_characters(get_the_content(), get_permalink(),97, “ Read more” ); echo $post_excerpt;
?>
