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

– dots: Set the number of dots in the ellipsis (default: 3).
Examples:
– [truncate-text location="end" dots="10"]0x8755B12f034ee7b2383fCF5E849201C71622CC44[/truncate-text] 0x8755..........
