I’m using the portfolio widget to showcase some blog posts, and I’m finding that the title is getting cut off at around 50 characters for each of them. How can I fix this?

Hi Maya,

If you’re telling the writing samples area, I see that the titles are more than 50 characters, for example, this title, “From the Net Impact Chapter Blog: Spotlight on Kellogg’s Net Impact Week” has 72 characters, can you clarify it is the right spot? or tell us exactly what the issue is using a screenshot?

Let us know,

Thanks,  
laranz.

Hi laranz.,

Sorry, I suppose I meant I’m using blog posts as part of my portfolio, so once you actually click on the link of “From the Net Impact Chapter Blog: Spotlight on Kellogg’s Net Impact Week” for example, it links [here](https://www.mayaholm.me/portfolio/netimpact-kellogg/) where the title gets cut off. It’s the same for all of my other posts as well.

Best,  
Maya

Hi,

Ah, got it. 🙂

If you’re using a child theme then go to templates-parts/content.php in the parent theme and copy the same into your child theme with the same directory structure, if not create a child theme and do that, [Child Themes « WordPress Codex](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#How_to_Create_a_Child_Theme)

After that edit the child theme content.php file, in line #59 you will see this,

`<a href="<?php echo esc_url( get_the_permalink() ); ?>"><?php echo wp_trim_words( get_the_title(), 9 ); ?></a>`

change that to,

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

If you’re struggling with that, let me know, I create that child theme for you!

Let us know,

Thanks,  
laranz.
