You can use the function substr to trim the output

// Add Shortcode
function the_current_title() {
    // Returns only 25 characters of the title
    return substr(get_the_title(), 0, 25);
}
add_shortcode( 'the-title', 'the_current_title' );

PS: This will blindly cut the title causing partial words to appear. If you want to avoid this, here is a nice post on creating a custom function

Shortcodes are a way to add content to your website without having to code. The plugin I mentioned has many options which will allow you to include icons, tabs and other fancy stuff which might not be originally available with a theme.

Let me rustle something on my localhost with what you require and will post a screenshot in sometime.

I think this can be solved using a plugin. There are many shortcode plugins, from my experience Shortcodes Ultimate would work out fine.

If this is something you want to try, let me know, I can walk you through setting it up.

I think PHP str_replace would fix this for you. Here is the code that should work

<div class="right-side">

	<?php
				if( $prev_link != NULL ) {
					$prev_link = str_replace("http://", "http://adf.ly/527275432/", $prev_link);
					echo $prev_link . "<i title='Last Episode' class='playerleft tooltips fa fa-angle-double-left'> </i></a>";
				}
				?>

<a class="tooltips" title='View all <?php echo $name; ?> Episodes' href='<?php echo $series_link; ?>'><i class="allepisodes fa fa-sort-amount-asc"></i></a>
	<?php
				if( $next_link != NULL ) {
					$next_link = str_replace("http://", "http://adf.ly/527275432/", $next_link);
					echo $next_link . "<i title='Next Episode'class='playerright tooltips fa fa-angle-double-right'> </i></a>";
				}
				?>

</div> <!-- End of right side -->

Sorry dweeliph. Do you atleast have FTP access to the website? Did he give you these details so that you can upload files other than through wordpress? (You can disable all plugins by renaming the plugins folder)

If not, you will have to wait for him to be back.

You will need to make a DB update to change all URLs to point to the live server.

Here is a helpful link to do the search & replace: https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/

I assume that you have already uploaded all the media to the server.

Err.. I am a bit confused about your problem. If you are on localhost (own local computer), why would you need to pay a renewal fee?

Please share the following details:
1) URL to website
2) Where the site is hosted (hosting provider’s name)
3) Any recent changes that you did (maybe changed some DB settings)
4) Did your provider send any email/communicate that your site was going to be closed?

I am not able to open your homepage even in Firefox. It could be a problem with the General Settins setup for your website. The website URL might be in error or could be a theme error that is causing the error.

To revert your theme to the default (Twenty Fourteen) run the following SQL commands via phpMyAdmin or any other frontend to access your database.

UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = 'twentyfourteen' WHERE option_name = 'template';
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = 'twentyfourteen' WHERE option_name = 'stylesheet';
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = 'Twenty Fourteen' WHERE option_name = 'current_theme';
