    Hi !

    I need to limit the displayed activity excerpt to 9 words.

    Is it possible to achieve this?

    Best regards

    MG

    Hello Michel,

    Thank you for posting. BuddyPress provides a filter to control the excerpt length. Use the following code

    
/**
 * Modify excerpt length. Return no. of characters in activity excerpt.
 *
 * @param int $length Length.
 *
 * @return int
 */
function buddydev_modify_excerpt_length( $length ) {
	$length = 100;

	return $length;
}
add_filter('bp_activity_excerpt_length', 'buddydev_modify_excerpt_length' );

    Please check.

    Regards
    Ravi
