    This is probably a problem with your theme, not the plugin.

    The plugin has a filter:
    add_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘bawmrp_cut_words’ );
    function bawmrp_cut_words( $title ) {
    global $in_bawmrp_loop;
    if ( $in_bawmrp_loop ) {
    return wp_trim_words( $title, 10 );
    }
    return $title;
    }

    That filter should only run if $in_bawmrp_loop is set to true which happens inside the bawmrp_the_content() function.

    To fix whatever is going wrong you could simply remove that filter by adding this line to function.php:
    remove_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘bawmrp_cut_words’ );

    @josefus : Please, use a proper post title related to your problem, not your impatience for a FREE support on a FREE plugin, thank you.

    Do you use the Elegant Theme Builder? If yes, the fault come from them, they change a thing in WordPress using a hook to change a “word cut” into a “letter cut”, so, instead of cuting title to X words, i cut X letters … They has been warned.

    Like Jon said “remove_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘bawmrp_cut_words’ );” can be enought, waiting for me to have time to update the plugin.
    My priority is my work and my clients, not a free plugin, i hope you can understand.

    Hi Julio,

    Sorry! No impatience, at all… Just thought my original post title was missed and figured this one would not be. And thank you again for a great plugin!

    I’m posting my entire original post below.

    The theme I’m using is Thesis 1.85 which is no longer being updated. I’ve used Manual Related Posts for a couple of years maybe, and had not a single problem with it: EVER.

    A while back there was an update which resulted in the WP post titles getting truncated, as I showed in my original post.

    Would greatly appreciate your attention to this matter.

    Many Thanks!

    ==============
    ORIGINAL POST:

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, this problem isn’t resolved…

    I’m running version 1.8.1 and getting post titles truncated — at the top of the post page, not the Related Posts area — as shown in this post:

    http://www.israeli-occupation.org/2013-06-18/noam-chomsky-we-must-defend-the-global-commons-against-commercialization-environmental-catastrophe-and-autocratic-rule/

    Where the title reads:

    Noam Chomsky: We must defend the global commons against commercialization,…

    But *should* read (what is entered in the title box in the Post Edit page):

    Noam Chomsky: We must defend the global commons against commercialization, environmental catastrophe, and autocratic rule

    As soon as I disable the plugin, the problem goes away and the original title is displayed in full.

    Following your instructions in a related support item, I reviewed the code of the file mentioned, and it is already set to “height:auto” (line 123) and it’s definitely ver. 1.8.1

    I hope you can point me to the right fix, or provide an update that will address the problem.

    Many Thanks!

    No, ever used it, not familiar with this product. Only the Thesis theme, ver. 1.85 which is very stable. As I said, I believe the problem started after a recent update to the plugin.

    Thank you again!

    Oh, for me this was the solution – just cutting out the filter with /* */ instead of fiddling with the functions.php as someone who doesn’t really know PHP seems to have done it for me. I’m using the Solostream-theme WP-Bold. Thanks.

    And for those with a similar problem: The filter is in the frontend-noajax.inc.php

    @jon Brown @barbara Muerdter — thank you both! Removing the filter in the theme’s functions file fixes the problem. (And, no, it’s not a theme problem: the theme — Thesis 1.85 — hasn’t changed in a couple of years now, and this problem started after a recent plugin revision…)

    I hope the removal of the filter doesn’t introduce new problems in some situations.

    @julio — When you’re revising the plugin such that it is no longer necessary to use this fix in the functions file, it would be great if you could post it here so I can remove the code. I hope you can keep this post open until then. Many Thanks!

    Thanks a lot! I had the same problem and I needed a solution asap. Lucky everyone put together a temporary solution.
