trim title on an only single page

@waseemaslam
Changed some lines from your code snippet.

Updated Code Snippet:

/**
 * Limit Post Title
 * https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/trim-title-on-an-only-single-page/
 */ 
function limit_word_count( $title, $post_id ) {
	
	$len = 5; //change this to the number of words
	$trim_title_for_id = '3988';
	
	if( $post_id == $trim_title_for_id ){

		if (str_word_count($title) > $len) {
			$keys = array_keys(str_word_count($title, 2));
			$title = substr($title, 0, $keys[$len]);
		}

	}
	
	return $title;
}
add_filter( 'the_title', 'limit_word_count', 10, 2 );

Thank you for the time but it’s not working

I think code runs before and not getting the page id

Please make sure you’re providing correct post id.

You can check the demo for the same here: https://clean-gerbil.w5.poopy.life/
Also, you can play with this demo.
I’ve trimmed title for Post ID 9.

So it’s little different on my site.

I have a page with the post grid. There I want to display the title of 5 words.

How can I do that on-page as is_page is not working?

Can you please tell that ‘3988’ is the ID of the blog post or the page with post grid?

its the id of the page

Please pass the ID of the Blog post having title ‘Growing Connection Between…’.
It will trim the title to five words as expected.

I tried already and it’s working fine but I want to trim title of all posts showing on that page and when a user visits single blog page I want to show full title.

Filter ‘the_title’ isn’t a good option for this.
Please, apply some CSS for its class, it will solve your problem. ??

.your-class-name-here {
    -webkit-line-clamp: 2;
    -webkit-box-orient: vertical;
    overflow: hidden;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    display: -webkit-box;
}

You can set how many lines you want to show for that using webkit-line-clamp.

@nikhilbhansi Please do not use short links in these forums. They get expanded when found and I have expanded yours.
