I want to display only a set number of characters of "Post Body" text and add a ' more... ' link if it goes over that number.

How can it be done...the code below does not work.

<p>[wpv-post-body length="100" more="..." view_template="None"]</p>

Thanks

Hi John,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

The length parameter won't work for the [wpv-post-body] shortcode.

Thanks,
Shane
