How to Limit the Excerpt Length In WordPress Posts
This question came across the PublishPress support desk this week:
Do you know how to set a maximum character length on the excerpt field? I need to be the point of entry, rather than when displaying it on the frontend. I want to force the user to write an excerpt of a certain length.
Yes, this is possible with the PublishPress Checklists plugin. If you need more details, check out our beginners guide to excerpts.
