    Hello,

    I need to set the length of the text, the number of words. Is it possible to add something to the shortcode to set the word count? Or how could this be handled to adjust the word count only on the shortcode?

    Thank you.

    Hello Yuriix,

    Thank you for posting here. There is no attribute supported by plugin to limit no. of words in an activity. But you can use the filter name ‘bp_activity_excerpt_length’ to limit the character count.

    If you need assistance with the code Please let me know.

    Regards
    Ravi

    Hello Keymaster,

    If I use ‘bp_activity_excerpt_length’ it will modify the Word Limit everywhere, I would only need it somewhere, i.e. in certain places where I use the shortcode.

    Thank you

    Regards

    Hello Yuriix,

    Please use the following code:

    
/**
 * Excerpt length of activity in shortcode context
 *
 * @param int $length No. of words.
 *
 * @return int
 */
function buddydev_modify_activity_excerpt_length( $length ) {
	return 150;
}

add_action( 'bp_activity_stream_shortcode_before_generate_content', function() {
	add_filter( 'bp_activity_excerpt_length', 'buddydev_modify_activity_excerpt_length' );
} );

add_action( 'bp_activity_stream_shortcode_after_generate_content', function () {
	remove_filter( 'bp_activity_excerpt_length', 'buddydev_modify_activity_excerpt_length', 10 );
} );

    Please let me know if it helps or not.

    Regards
    Ravi

    Hello Keymaster,
    Cool, it works perfectly if the user adds something via Activity. Unfortunately, if I add a post, the text is still long.

    Please try to use the following code:

    Hello Keymaster,

    Perfect, if you could shorten the title (of the created post or added product (Woocommerce)) and it would be complete 🙂

    Thank you very much.
