    Ok more information…

    I found out that if my title goes over 2 lines in the box it pushes the one below it down to the following row.

    Plz help. can I get the title to truncate?

    Add this into your theme functions.php

    function truncate_long_titles($title) {
	$MAX_LENGTH = 50;
	$TERMINATOR = ' ...';

	if(strlen($title) > $MAX_LENGTH){
		$parts = explode(' ', $title);
		$title = "";
		$i = 0;

		while(strlen($title) < $MAX_LENGTH && $i < count($parts)){
			if(strlen($parts[$i]) + strlen($title) > $MAX_LENGTH){
				return $title . $TERMINATOR;
			} else {
				$title .= ' ' . $parts[$i];
				$i++;
			}
		}

		return $title . $TERMINATOR;
	} else{
		return $title;
	}
}

add_filter('the_title', 'truncate_long_titles');

    Set the MAX LENGTH and away you go… of course this will apply to anywhere you use the_title().

    Taken from this plugin here…

    You don’t have to use it as a plugin, the above will work inside your theme..
