    Hi!

    I have a qustion about an excerpt from a custom field.

    How can I limit the number of words from a text out of a custom field?

    I would like to use this text as kind of excerpt.

    I know how to limit the number of words for the excerpt – but I don’t know how to make it work out a custom field – any Idea?

    THANK YOU! 🙂

    Got it working: Maybe you may need it: Thanks to the forum:

    <?php $trim_length = 450;  //desired length of text to display
		$custom_field = 'Custom Field';
		$value = get_post_meta($post->ID, $custom_field, true);
		if ($value) {
		  echo rtrim(substr($value,0,$trim_length));
		}
		?>
