Hi, sorry for so long.. what I did on these 3 functions on swift-framework/core/sf-formatting.php and its working fine for me now (to count characters instead of words):
function sf_excerpt( $limit ) {
global $post;
$excerpt = “”;
$custom_excerpt = sf_get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘sf_custom_excerpt’, true );
if ( $custom_excerpt != “” ) {
//edited by titus
//$excerpt = wp_trim_words( $custom_excerpt, $limit );
$excerpt = wp_html_excerpt( $custom_excerpt, $limit, ‘…’);
} else {
//edited by titus
//$excerpt = wp_trim_words( get_the_excerpt(), $limit );
$excerpt = wp_html_excerpt( get_the_excerpt(), $limit, ‘…’);
}
$excerpt = preg_replace( ‘\[[^\]]*\]‘, ”, $excerpt );
return ‘<p>’ . $excerpt . ‘</p>’;
}
function sf_content( $limit ) {
$content = wp_trim_words( get_the_content(), $limit );
$content = preg_replace( ‘/\[.+\]/’, ”, $content );
$content = apply_filters( ‘the_content’, $content );
$content = str_replace( ‘]]>’, ‘]]>’, $content );
return $content;
}
function sf_custom_excerpt( $custom_content, $limit ) {
$locale = get_locale();
$content = ”;
/* edited by titus
if ( $locale == ‘zh_CN’ || $locale == ‘zh_SG’ || $locale == ‘zh_HK’ || $locale == ‘zh_TW’ ) {
$content = wp_trim_words( $custom_content, $limit );
} else {
$content = $custom_content; // This is needed to keep formatting
}*/
$content = wp_html_excerpt( $custom_content, $limit, ‘…’);
$content = preg_replace( ‘/\[.+\]/’, ”, $content );
$content = apply_filters( ‘the_content’, $content );
$content = str_replace( ‘]]>’, ‘]]>’, $content );
return $content;
}
.
