Description

Limit-Post is one of the better WordPress post content limiters we have come across, both in terms of usability and size. Developed by labitacora.net Limit-Post provides excellent control over the post character-length and even adds the ability to create a “read more …” link with a single line of code.

With “Limit Post Add-On” we have expanded on the original plugin to include WordPress’ get_the_content tag in order to limit post copy with stripped html tags.
