    Hello, I am looking to edit the following code to limit the number of characters that appears for each title…

    <ul>
<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=55&showposts=5"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>

    Can you help?

    Thanks,

    Khalid.

    you could try and replace this:
    <?php the_title(); ?>

    with this:

    <?php $limit = 10;
echo substr(get_the_title(),0, $limit); ?>
