Photo excerpt (nearly)

[John Paul]

Hi, I finally managed to get the excerpt redcued in the photo view…..the std wp codex in the function file was nto working..so I copied from another discussion and used the following code in my photo single_event.php file

<!– Event Content –>
<?php do_action( ‘tribe_events_before_the_content’ ) ?>
<div class=”tribe-events-list-event-description tribe-events-content description entry-summary”>

<?php
$excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
$excerpt = substr( $excerpt , 0, 100);
echo $excerpt;
?>
</div>

and bingo …it worked!!! however this seems to use character count………what can I change to enable it to use word count..?

all the best

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can try to help out here, but we do not have a word count function and not sure if WordPress does either.

I did a quick search and found this snippet that you might be able to adapt to limit the excerpt by words not characters:
