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;
}

Hi Ed,
Thanks for your reply, but the problem seems still exist..
May I know what do you update on the new zip ?

As I know.. the usual “word length” is count by space for english,
and chinese “word” without space.

Is it possible to just give me a code to use on the child theme to count by words instead of space ?

And I also suggest to add a option on the “Excerpt Length” by “space(default)” and “character” later on.
thanks!

*attached with the screen cap I use “15” as the Excerpt Length on your zip.
