 * Have a look in index.php for `<?php the_title(); ?>`. My guess is that there’s
   an extra PHP function being run on `the_title` to truncate it before it is displayed.
   If you could post the relevant line (not the whole file, please), it would help.
   It should look something like:
 *     ```
       <span class="titles">
       <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
       </span>
       ```

       			<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
       <div class="readmore"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">Read More</a></div>
   
       			</div>
       ```

 * Hi de3r7,
 * You have set the 24 character in the title..please change it to your requirement…
   I have highlighted here:
 *     ```
       </div>
   
       			<span class="titles"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title2('', '...', true, '<strong>100</strong>') ?></a></span>
       			<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
       <div class="readmore"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">Read More</a></div>
   
       			</div>
       ```
   
 * Thanks,
 * Shane G.

 * Why not just use the_title() in place of the_title2() …
 * The function the_title2 is a custom function, so why not just fall back to the
   regular function the_title()?

 * Just replace `<?php the_title2('', '...', true, '<strong>100</strong>') ?>` with`
   <?php the_title(); ?>`.
