Is there a way to truncate the beginning of the text

    Love this plugin, it saved me when the timeline for the template we used stopped working.

    I have one small issue. My pages use Slider Revolution so the description for child pages includes everything on the page – mostly. Some titles get cut off but this is the way slider rev is posting, not the way that child pages interprets it, I believe.

    Ideally I would like to select one field in slider rev to use as the description. Is there a workaround to do this? For example, the description is currently: Title, About, and the text about the film. I only want the text about the film.

    My work around would be to do a custom description for each one but I would prefer that the page be completely auto generated.

    Thanks for reading!

    I don’t know how Slider Rev stores it’s descriptions – if it stores them as a custom field, you should be able to specify this field.

    Failing this, you can use the words parameter to limit how many words from the main text are used for the excerpt.

    Finally, I am assuming that you have already filled in the excerpt field for the pages/posts as these will be used by default…
