Post Title Number of characters problem

  • Hi Codex,

    I have a site that I am putting together for a friend using the “Evander” Theme located here:https://www.jwaterexecutiverecruiter.com/

    I want to know how to lengthen the post titles under “Popular Posts” in the left hand column. Seems like it must be a php solution I am looking for but I don’t know. Any ideas?

    I waited 3 days and didn’t hear from anyone so I had enough time to figure it out for myself. Here is what I found and maybe it will help someone else.

    The titles of my “Popular Posts” in the sidebar of a child theme based upon the them called “Evander” were far too short making ugly titles. In ‘sidebar.php” look for this code:

    <h3>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php echo substr($post->post_title,0,20); ?></h3>

    and change the second parameter of “post_title” (where it says “20” in my example) to whatever length/# of characters you desire.
