Hello!

I need display limited number of characters on website.

I use this code (create shortcode):

add_shortcode('limit_content', 'trim_shortcode');
 function trim_shortcode($atts, $content = '') {
    $content = wpv_do_shortcode($content);
    $length = (int)$atts['length'];
  
    if (strlen($content) > $length) {
        $content = substr($content, 0, $length) . '…';
    }
  
    // Strip HTML Tags
    $content = strip_tags($content);
  
    return $content;
}

And after use this shortcode in "Views":

[limit_content length="300"][types field='cpf-name' output='word'][/types][/limit_content]

It works perfectly, but not correct for "Cyrillic" (Russian).

U can see it on this screenshot - hidden link

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

WEll - It looks like character encoding issue.

Could you please try to use following shortcode (remove the code used before) where I've encode the string to utf8.

add_shortcode('limit_content', 'trim_shortcode');
 function trim_shortcode($atts, $content = '') {
    $content = wpv_do_shortcode($content);
    $length = (int)$atts['length'];
   
    if (strlen($content) > $length) {
        $content = substr($content, 0, $length) . '…';
    }
   
    // Strip HTML Tags
    $content = strip_tags($content);
   
    return utf8_encode($content);
}

Can I have problem URL and access details so I can check whats going wrong there.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I would additionally need your permission to de- and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important. If you agree to this, please use the form fields I have enabled below to provide temporary access details (wp-admin and FTP).

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Thanks for sharing access details.

I think you missed to share problem URL. Could you please send me problem URL where you've added above shortcode.

I've added another shortcode to limit words as the issue is when word is break due to number of character.

add_shortcode('limit_words', 'trim_words_shortcode');
 function trim_words_shortcode($atts, $content = '') {
    $content = trim(wpv_do_shortcode($content));
	
    $length = (int)$atts['words'];
    	
	$content =	implode(' ', array_slice(explode(' ', $content), 0,$length));
    
	// Strip HTML Tags
    $content = strip_tags($content);
  
    return $content."...";
}

And you need to use as given under:

[limit_words words="25"][types field='eva-text-kommentariya' output='word'][/types][/limit_words]

I suggest you to apply above shortcode where ever you required.
