Hi,

Is there a shortcode or someting else that can help me?
I need the output of characters in '[display-posts]' to be specific?

Like only output 20 characters of the title.

Thanks! :-)

You're able to control the length of the excerpt by placing this in your theme's functions.php file:
```
/**
 * Change Excerpt Length
 *
 */
function be_excerpt_length( $length ) {
	return '20';
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'be_excerpt_length', 99 );
```
