   Is there a way to use the substr() function on WP functions like the_content() and the_title()?

   If I try and use it, WP completely ignores it and displays the full string.

   Thanks

   the_content and the_title echo the string out directly.

   You want to use get_the_content and get_the_title and apply the substr to what is returned.

   What if you want to use it with previous_post_link() or wp_get_archives()? Help please.
