    HI,

    My code is:

    <?php $text = $post->post_excerpt;if (strlen($text) > 40) {
$text = substr($text,0,strpos($text,' ',40)); } ;
$text = $text . '';
echo apply_filters('the_excerpt',get_the_excerpt().'<a href="'.get_permalink().'"> Read More </a>'); ?>

    I want to limit expcerpt lenth in 40 wards, but i cant do it with above code.

    please help me…

    You need to use a filter in your theme’s or child theme’s functions.php file:

    Thanks Kjodle,

    I write filter in my function.php

    function new_excerpt_length( $length ) {
	return 40;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length' );

    but its not working…something is wrong in my category.php code….

    Hi
    I solved my problem….

    in function.php

    function get_excerpt($count){
  $permalink = get_permalink($post->ID);
  $excerpt = get_the_content();
  $excerpt = strip_tags($excerpt);
  $excerpt = substr($excerpt, 0, $count);
  $excerpt = substr($excerpt, 0, strripos($excerpt, " "));
  $excerpt = $excerpt.'... <a href="'.$permalink.'">more</a>';
  return $excerpt;
}

    and add this code to your desired place…
    <?php echo get_excerpt(125); ?>

    125 is your word limit…
