I have the same question as Arthur. This doesn’t really help me for my regular post titles. If this worked in widgets it would be epic! Specifically the Recent Posts Widget.

If you can figure that out I will applaud you!

Thank you SOOOO much for this. I have been looking everywhere for a plugin like this. Searched the WordPress plugin directory for “truncate, limit, etc.” and could not find anything that worked…. a few of the hacks on Google didn’t work either.

I’m using this plugin on a few client sites, but it’s funny that you mentioned Perogy — I have the same problem with my 75 year old mother…. I keep on saying, “Mom… limit your title to a few characters and keep the important keywords first…” and of course, she never remembers. Usually stuffed with “the, and, if, etc.” lol.

Thanks again for this great plugin.

Hi Elliot, can you please show us an example of how truncate titles by using "is_home" please?

I tried this at the end of your plugin but doesn't work...

if (is_home()) { add_filter('the_title', 'truncate_long_titles'); };

Thank you!
