WP Limit Posts Automatically
2007-12-03 @ 17:00Is there a way to limit posts in WordPress? You can always use the more-tag and if you use it you can manually insert a break-point to cut your posts where you like. What if you want to do it automatically? Then this plugin is the answer. You can choose where it should limit your posts (home, category, archive and search). You also have some other features, for example to choose the limit method (cut by letter, word or paragraph).
- Download: WP Limit Posts Automatically
- Last updated: 2007-12-16
- Version: 0.7 beta
- Works with: 2.3.1
Screenshots
Install
- Upload wp-limit-posts-automatically.php to the
/wp-content/plugins/wp-limit-posts-automatically directory. - Activate the plugin WP Limit Posts Automatically through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
- Go to ‘Options / Limit Posts Options’ for options and more instructions.
History
Why did I make this? I almost always forgot to put a more-tag into my posts and at first I created some quick fix for it at my own website. At the time I didn’t found any good plugin for it. I still havn’t found the perfect plugin for this so I created my own.
Updates 0.7
- Updated with a new option, ”strip tags” to avoid code errors when cut through letter or word.
- Added a little usage section
Updates 0.5
- Fixed bug with paragraph tag sometimes ended incorrectly (because of the cut).
Updates 0.4
- Fixed bug with ajax category problem.
- Fix collision to WP YouTube plugin
Contribute / Feedback
The best way to contribute is to spread the word, link to this page or give me feedback. All kinds of feedback are helpful to me. Have you tested this plugin on another WordPress-version and can confirm that it works? Let me know. Suggestions and bug report are also welcome.

Hi Jens,
I try to use your plugin but when I use ”Limit post by” word and I write something in the ”text ending” field, nothing appears on my web page… Did you have already that kind of problem ? Thanks for your help !

@John KW
open feedwordpress.php
find these:
add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘feedwordpress_preserve_syndicated_content’, -10000);
add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘feedwordpress_restore_syndicated_content’, 10000);
and comment that line, this will work on the front page post

Hello and thanks for this plug-in!
Great work, I am planning to used it on my website.
However is there any possibility to exclude the posts from a specific category from beeing cut to the first paragraph – well i got a category with just videos in it and i want to display them on all my archives pages not only the first paragraph.
Apologize for my poor english writting,
Thanks for all,
Michel.

Jens;

Hej Jens,
jag har samma problem som koullis (2008-08-03): När jag aktiverar Limit Posts Automatically så hoppar höger sidebar längst ner på sidan. Jag använder WP 2.6.5.
Anledningen till att jag vill ha LPA är att jag använder FeedWordPress för att syndikera andras bloggar till ett gemensamt RSS-flöde. Jag ser att det är fler här som försökt använda LPA med FWP. Det bästa vore om FWP inkluderade LPA. Jag ska tipsa radgeek om dig. :-)

Hi Jens –
I have implemented the plugin here:
talk.ojaipost.com
I have the same question that someone on WordPress.org did here:
wordpress.org/support/topic/162670
How might I handle it, where if someone writes a post that is shorter than the limit specified, that Limit Posts does not display the Text Ending and Read More Textlink?
Does this need custom PHP? Or is there something I am missing? I am using WP 2.7 with the new P2 theme.
Thanks much for a great plugin. I’ll be happy to contribute if I can get this one issue sorted out.

I’ve installed this plugin, and it does work in that it does limit posts However, I don’t see anything indicating to the reader to ”read more” or ”continue”. Does this plugin add a ”read more” type text as well, or does it only limit the post without adding any indicators to continue at the end?

2009-05-19 @ 21:32
I was glad to find you plugin because I haven’t found many plugins that allow to cut posts without . But I have a problem: I want to use the plugin only in my sidebar.php, not on posts page. Is there a piece of code I could put manually in a right spot and get posts limited? Please, could you advice as soon as possible! Thanks! o/

i have a problem with captions of the image in the frontpage, it will show the caption tags when the plugin is use. How to insert the $text = preg_replace( ‘|\[(.+?)\](.+?\[/\\1\])?|s’, ”, $text ); one of the discussion at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/200136 instructed to insert this to the php file of the plugin. Is this possible?
2009-08-28 @ 5:10
Hey– this is a truly excellent plugin! It suits just what I need. There is only one problem that I’m wondering if there is a work-around for. Sometimes I would like to make posts that are only one paragraph long, yet it still adds the ”Read more…” link to the end of the paragraph. Is there a way to fix that?
2009-08-31 @ 5:57
I’ve been using the plugin for quite a while now. Thanks for this amazing plugins :)
2009-09-03 @ 13:29
