Today I use the functions.php:

function short_title($num) {
$limit = $num+1;
$title = str_split(get_the_title());
$length = count($title);
if ($length>=$num) {
$title = array_slice( $title, 0, $num);
$title = implode("",$title)."...";
echo $title;
} else {
the_title();
}}

And the index.php:

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Read: <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php short_title(73); ?></a>

But the limit is in characters and I want it in words.

Tks…

ipstenu. Tks.
But this function works in the index.php, single.php…
I would like worked in the ADMIN.

geeksfolder. Thank you for your attention.
I use this option to limit the amount of characters in the loop.
But I would like to see the character count, and its limitation when editing the post in the Admin.

Pastebin, with the suggested changes (without layout (divs, etc.), for easy viewing.).

Selects perfectly, but does not perform paging.
Thank you.

I’m sorry.
Thank you for your comment.

Display posts: cat = 4,6,8,9 and posts_per_page = 8 and offset = 3, with pagination (wp-pagenavi).

<?php get_header() ?>
<div id="content">
<?php $query = new WP_Query('cat=4,6,8,9&posts_per_page=8&offset=3' . '&paged=' . $paged); ?>
	<?php if ($query->have_posts()) : while($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post(); ?>
		<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Leia: <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
	<?php endwhile; ?>
		<?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) : wp_pagenavi(array( 'query' => $query )); endif; ?>
	<?php else : ?>
	<?php endif; ?>
</div><!-- content -->
<?php get_footer() ?>

Thank you for your attention.

Thank you very much!
query_posts( array(‘cat’ => $category[0]->cat_ID, ‘post__not_in’ => array($id), ‘showposts’ => 4 ));
Works fine.
