\"WordPress<\/a>This function, the_content_limit \u00a0controls the maximum\u00a0amount of characters displayed for an entry on the main page on WordPress homepage posts, e.g Featured Posts, Recent Posts
\nHowever , the_content_limit stripped HTML tags just like the_excerpt. What if we want to keep HTML tags<\/p>\n

We make modification to the function, the_content_limit which is usually found in functions.php<\/p>\n

\r\n\r\nfunction the_content_limit($max_char, $more_link_text = '(more...)', $stripteaser = 0, $more_file = '') {\r\n$content = get_the_content($more_link_text, $stripteaser, $more_file);\r\n\/\/ remove [caption] shortcode\r\n$content = preg_replace("\/\\[caption.*\\[\\\/caption\\]\/", '', $content);\r\n\/\/ short codes are applied\r\n\r\n$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);\r\n$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);\r\n$content = strip_tags($content,'\r\n,<b>,<strong>,<a>,<i>,\r\n');\r\n\r\nif ((strlen($content)>$max_char) && ($espacio\u00a0= strpos($content, " ", $max_char ))) {\r\n$content = substr($content, 0, $espacio);\r\n$content = $content;\r\necho "\r\n";\r\necho $content;\r\necho "...";\r\necho "\r\n\r\n";\r\n}\r\nelse {\r\necho "\r\n";\r\necho $content;\r\necho "\r\n\r\n";\r\n}\r\n}\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n
We remove $content = strip_tags($content);\u00a0 from original code of the_content_limit<\/a> and replace it with\u00a0$content = strip_tags($content,'<p>,<b>,<strong>,<a>,<i>,<br>’);
\nThis will allow the_content_limit to show paragraph, bold texts, italic texts.<\/p>\n
What is strip_tags?<\/strong><\/p>\n
We can remove all html tags from the content by using strip_tags string function in PHP. This function can be used to collect only the content part without reading the html formatting of the page. Here is the syntax<\/p>\n
strip_tags (input string [, string allowable_tags])<\/h3>\n
This function also allows one optional string where we can keep the tags which are not to be removed. Say we don’t want the hyper links to be removed. So we will allow the linking tag\u00a0<a href<\/i>\u00a0to be kept as it is. Here is the syntax for this.<\/p>\n
strip_tags($string_str, ‘<a>’);<\/h3>\n
In the above code\u00a0$string_str<\/i>\u00a0is the input string, in our case it is $content<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
