Limit Characters in related post Title

Hi tuhinbiswas98. There are several ways to do this as discussed in this article. However, the easiest solution is to just chnage one line in the related-posts file.
1. Copy /inc/related-posts.php from the parent theme to the same folder in your child theme.
2. Find the following code near the bottom of the file:

<h4 class="post-title">
	<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</h4><!--/.post-title-->

3. Chnage this at the end of the line (the last instance, not “title=”):

<?php the_title(); ?>

to this:

<?php echo wp_trim_words( the_title(), 5 ); ?>

Change the number of words from 5 to whatever you like.

i try this but its not worrking ??

Can you post a link to your site? Thanks.

yes https://pom111.tk/ i useing this site to try this code :O

What happens if you change this:

<?php echo wp_trim_words( the_title(), 5 ); ?>

to this:

<?php echo wp_trim_words( get_the_title(), 5 ); ?>

i try <?php echo wp_trim_words( get_the_title(), 5 ); ?> but stil same noithing change ??

And the file you are changing is located in wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/inc/related-posts.php?

yes that file in my child theme

OK. To make sure the theme is using the correct file, I’d like you to add some text to the file in your child theme, just before the title <h4>, like this:

this is a test <h4 class="post-title">
	<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php get_the_title(); ?></a>
</h4><!--/.post-title-->

Let me know when you’ve done that and I’ll look at your test site again.

you want me to add that in my related-posts.php?

before <h4 class=”post-title”>?

this is my full code of related-posts.php new one without any change ok

<?php $related = alx_related_posts(); ?>

<?php if ( $related->have_posts() ): ?>

<h4 class="heading">
	<i class="fa fa-hand-o-right"></i><?php _e('You may also like...','hueman'); ?>

						<img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/img/thumb-medium.png" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />

<?php endif; ?>

<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

Yes, to the related-posts.php file in your child theme.

ok i did ad that code but nothing change look plz https://pom111.tk/

Then the theme isn’t using the file that you updated. You’re sure it’s wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/inc/related-posts.php?
