    Hi, in one of topic, esmi, suggest to use substr(the_title(). I try to use this with post title at footer vidget, but without effects. Any ideas?

    <div class="bottom-left">
		<h3><?php _e('Recent Posts'); ?></h3>
		<ul>
		<?php $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=6'); foreach($myposts as $post) : ?>
			<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php substr(the_title(), 0, 12); ?> ...</a></li>
		<?php endforeach; ?>
		</ul>
	</div>

    this giving normal the_title from the table

    <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php substr($post->post_title, 0, 12); ?> ...</a></li>

    Try:

    <?php
global $post;
$myposts = get_posts('posts_per_pages=6'); foreach($myposts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php echo substr(get_the_title(), 0, 12); ?> ...</a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>

    thnks, it works correctly. 🙂 brgs

    and now the code looks like

    <div class="bottom-left">
		<h3><?php _e('Recent Posts'); ?></h3>

<ul>
		<?php global $post; $myposts = get_posts('posts_per_pages=6'); foreach($myposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post);?>

<li><a>"><?php if ( strlen(get_the_title()) > 26 ) { echo substr(get_the_title(), 0, 26)."..."; } else { the_title(); } ?></a></li>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
		</ul>
	</div>

    couse we don’t want the ‘…’ every time, ya? :))

    thnks for good guys
