Hello
Here’s a way to do with mb_strlen in the desired loop or otherwise. It can replace the php the_content
<?php if ( mb_strlen( get_the_content() ) >= 100 ) echo mb_substr( get_the_content(), 0, 100 ).’…’; else the_content(); ?>
the number 100 is the number of character. adapts

width
<? php if (mb_strlen (get_the_content ())> = 100) echo mb_substr (get_the_content (), 0, 100) ‘…’; else the_content ()? >
I made a lot page with name “blog” and page attribute is “blog (full post)” as when I select “blog except” it show zero word except as i used advanced excerpts plugin to show zero word except. Now please tell me that which file would it be which will affect “blog”page. Sorry for requesting so much detail as newbie in php.
Have you the link of you website ?
I think it’s in your loop.php !
but I’m not in your theme.
otherwise see if you have such template-blog.php or that looks like that! otherwise copy the code in your loop.php.
good luck …

And I replaced

Blog-except.php is actually the page template I’m using for my blog page. And the code
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
picks the except of the post to show s the content of the posts on blog page. As I mentioned in the post that I used Advanced Except Plugin to stop showing excerpt (under categories archives) but I want to show excerpt of desired length on blog page using blog excerpt.php. Due to
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
code it picks excerpt which is zero so it show only titles of the posts on the blog page. After replacing the said code with the code provided in earlier comments, it started giving error. So where is wrong. Please help.
Anyone?
My blog page is offline for about two months. Any one who could help?
