Please mark as resolved.

As an addition, while there are some RSS plugins on the not allowed list, the ECHO RSS is not one of them.

That worked a treat, thank you.

Sure thing:

function max_title_length( $title ) {
$max = 62;
if( strlen( $title ) > $max ) {
return substr( $title, 0, $max ). " …";
} else {
return $title;
}
}
 
add_filter( 'the_title', 'max_title_length');

Obviously, using it as a php snippet has the code as

<?php
function max_title_length( $title ) {
$max = 62;
if( strlen( $title ) > $max ) {
return substr( $title, 0, $max ). " …";
} else {
return $title;
}
}
 
add_filter( 'the_title', 'max_title_length');

I wanted to use this code below as wpbeginner say:

This method gives you more control over where your titles are shortened

But I wanted to see if the above worked first:

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
<?php
$thetitle = $post->post_title; /* or you can use get_the_title() */
$getlength = strlen($thetitle);
$thelength = 25;
echo substr($thetitle, 0, $thelength);
if ($getlength > $thelength) echo "...";
?>
</a>

It still shows full title on main page even using that fix.

I’m sure it’s just me not understanding things correctly.

When was this fixed? I had to deactivate my Premium version because it foobard my site.

My pleasure, it is an elegant theme and the fact that it is FREE is amazing…I would buy a Pro version if one existed.

As an addition to this, I did highlight the box to export media so I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

I’ve tried this and thought I’d found the answer but on testing it, it doesn’t export the media, for some reason
