Truncate Text

Beschreibung

Truncate Text is a simple WordPress plugin that allows you to truncate text in your posts and pages. Perfect for shortening usernames, cryptocurrency wallet addresses, or any lengthy content, this plugin provides flexible options to control how text is truncated.

Usage

  • Use the [truncate-text] shortcode to truncate text in your post or page content.
  • Use the [truncate-shortcode] shortcode to process nested shortcodes before truncating.

Optional Attributes

These attributes work with both shortcodes:
limit: Set the number of characters to display (default: 6).
Example: [truncate-text limit="8"]0x8755B12f034ee7b2383fCF5E849201C71622CC44[/truncate-text] 0x8755B1...1622CC44
encoding: Specify the text encoding (default: UTF-8).
Example: [truncate-text encoding="ISO-8859-1"]text[/truncate-text]
location: Choose where to truncate: „start“, „middle“ (default), or „end“.
Examples:
[truncate-text location="start"]0x8755B12f034ee7b2383fCF5E849201C71622CC44[/truncate-text] ...1622CC44
[truncate-text location="middle"]0x8755B12f034ee7b2383fCF5E849201C71622CC44[/truncate-text] 0x8755...22CC44
[truncate-text location="end"]0x8755B12f034ee7b2383fCF5E849201C71622CC44[/truncate-text] 0x8755...
dots: Set the number of dots in the ellipsis (default: 3).
Examples:
[truncate-text location="end" dots="10"]0x8755B12f034ee7b2383fCF5E849201C71622CC44[/truncate-text] 0x8755..........
[truncate-text location="middle" dots="5"]0x8755B12f034ee7b2383fCF5E849201C71622CC44[/truncate-text] 0x8755.....22CC44

Nested Shortcode Example

  • [truncate-shortcode limit="6" location="end" dots="4"][another-shortcode][/truncate-shortcode]
    Processes the inner shortcode first, then truncates the result.

Best plugin for truncating text and not only, in my theme it also works inside the settings so I can control any text. I contacted the developer who in a few hours modified the plugin with my request and did it in a short time and going beyond my expectations. Great job!
