   Hello,

   I usually use this function to shorten my titles:

   function the_title_shorten($len,$rep='...') {
   	$title = the_title('','',false);
   	$shortened_title = textLimit($title, $len, $rep);
   	print $shortened_title;
   }
   
   //shorten without cutting full words (Thank You Serzh 'http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php#83585')
   function textLimit($string, $length, $replacer) {
   	if(strlen($string) > $length)
   	return (preg_match('/^(.*)\W.*$/', substr($string, 0, $length+1), $matches) ? $matches[1] : substr($string, 0, $length)) . $replacer;
   	return $string;
   }

   However, I have one plugin which has this line of code:
   <a href='" . get_permalink($post->ID) . "' title='". esc_attr($post->post_title) ."'>" . esc_html($post->post_title) ."</a>

   How can I shorten the title of esc_html($post->post_title) ?

   Thanks for your help !

   evo252,

   Wish I would have seen this sooner. Here are five ways to shorten the post title. Maybe this will help someone out there.
