Dynamic block element Title lenght

Hi Sofia,

Here are a few steps:

1. Add cu-limit-text to the class list of the Headline Block.

Adding Custom Classes: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/adding-additional-css-classes-to-blocks/

2. Add this snippet:

add_filter('generateblocks_dynamic_content_output', function($content, $attributes, $block){
	if ( ! is_admin() && ! empty( $attributes['className'] ) && strpos( $attributes['className'], 'cu-limit-text' ) !== false ) {
		$words = preg_split("/\s+/", $content);
		if (count($words) > 8) {
			$words = array_slice($words, 0, 8);
			$content = implode(' ', $words);
		}
	}
	return $content;
}, 10, 3);

Let us know how it goes.

Can you take a screenshot of the steps you’ve done?

Your settings are correct, however, this snippet doesn’t work.

Can you try this snippet to trim the post title itself for the archive and blog page directly?

You just need to change the 20 to fit your needs 🙂

function trim_archive_post_titles($title) {
    // Check if we are on a blog or an archive page (e.g., category, tag, author, date archive)
    if (is_archive() || is_home()) {
        // Define the maximum number of words to display
        $max_words = 20; // Display up to 20 words

        // Explode the title into an array of words
        $words = explode(' ', $title);

        // If the title has more words than the limit, truncate it to max words
        if (count($words) > $max_words) {
            $title = implode(' ', array_slice($words, 0, $max_words)) . '...'; // Add ellipsis
        }
    }

    return $title;
}
add_filter('the_title', 'trim_archive_post_titles');

You are welcome   🙂
