Increase amount of words on blog title

Shapely
1

Hi,

My blog titles are limited to only 9 words instead of 55 characters. I tried to see if I can adjust this in the wp-includes/formatting.php but I can’t find any reference to it limiting it nor in functions.php.

Is the limit set by the theme. I am using Shapely. I could give you a link to the web-page if necessary so you can verify what I am talking about.

Thank you in advance for all your help.

I tried this, and emptied the page cache and deleted the cookies, but unfortunately it didn’t solve the issue. Do you have any other suggestions?

Thank you for your help so far.

Hi,

Yes I believe it is too. Thank you so much for this, I am really grateful for your efforts.

I am really curious what was causing this issue and how you fixed it. Are there any consequences when I update the theme?

Hope you have a great day.

Greetings

Hi Noda,

Thank you for your message. Due to personal reasons I wasn’t able to get back to you sooner. Since there was an update on Shapely now more then ever am I curious on the way you fixed it.

The link to temporary login is:

Also I have noticed the issue to come back.

Thanks again in advance for all your efforts.

Kind regards,

HI

In the file template-parts/content.php on the line 64 you will see this code:
<a href="<?php echo esc_url( get_the_permalink() ); ?>"><?php echo wp_trim_words( get_the_title(), 9 ); ?></a>

change it to this:

<a href="<?php echo esc_url( get_the_permalink() ); ?>"><?php echo wp_trim_words( get_the_title(), 90 ); ?></a>

but please note, since you do not have a child them i made changes in parent theme which is not a good idea, (You lost changes during the update) now, go ahead and set up a child theme and copy this file in the child theme
