I might look into it and make it put the after a word instead of it cutting the word in half though. Thanks bro! * [Cypher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/) * (@cypher) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-lt-more-gt-insertion/#post-169120) * I had initially implemented the script to put the after X number of characters, but that brought about the issue you saw, that is, words just cut up and it looks a little disjoint. * So I opted to change it to add the after the first paragraph to make the presentation on the main page a little nicer. * Regards * [enrique1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enrique1/) * (@enrique1) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-lt-more-gt-insertion/#post-169128) * How do you make it so that the tag gets added after a determined amount of characters? I changed the $max_char_count to 100 but it did not do it. * Thanks! * [Cypher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/) * (@cypher) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-lt-more-gt-insertion/#post-169131) * You would need to do a little more than just change the $max_char_count, but I must warn you that if you add a tag in the middle of a post, when you go the full entry, the line will continue on a seperate paragraph. * This is the main reason that I chose to split after the first paragraph. That way things look fine even in the single page mode. * If you’re still interested in a character_count version, lemme know and I’ll send you a modified version. * Regards * [enrique1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enrique1/) * (@enrique1) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-lt-more-gt-insertion/#post-169133) * I definately would like to get a modified version of the plugin. Here’s my email: [netadmin@xplain.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-lt-more-gt-insertion/netadmin@xplain.com?output_format=md) * Our problem is that the posts are simply too long to show on the main page. What I need is something that will limit the amount of text for each post just on the main page. I found a similar plugin called Limit-Post but I could not get it to work. Then I found your plugin. * If you could send a modified version of the “more” tag plugin so that it truncates the text to a certain limit it would do a BIG help. * Thanks!!! * [Cypher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/) * (@cypher) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-lt-more-gt-insertion/#post-169134) * Email sent. * [gerardtemeij](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gerardtemeij/) * (@gerardtemeij) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-lt-more-gt-insertion/#post-169306) * The plugin comes in my page as a complete code pages and messes everything up do i do somthing wrong maybe my e-mail is [gtemeij@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-lt-more-gt-insertion/gtemeij@gmail.com?output_format=md) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) The topic ‘Automatic Insertion’ is closed to new replies. * 11 replies * 6 participants * Last reply from: [gerardtemeij](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gerardtemeij/) * Last activity: [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-lt-more-gt-insertion/#post-169306) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
