Truncate Text

Truncate Text lets you shorten long strings of text in posts, pages, or custom content. Ideal for trimming usernames, crypto wallet addresses, or any lengthy content, it offers flexible options to control exactly how and where the text is truncated.

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
– [truncate-text location="middle"]0x8755B12f034ee7b2383fCF5E849201C71622CC44[/truncate-text] → 0x8755...22CC44
– [truncate-text location="end"]0x8755B12f034ee7b2383fCF5E849201C71622CC44[/truncate-text] → 0x8755...
– dots: Set the number of dots in the ellipsis (default: 3).
Examples:
– [truncate-text location="end" dots="10"]0x8755B12f034ee7b2383fCF5E849201C71622CC44[/truncate-text] → 0x8755..........
– [truncate-text location="middle" dots="5"]0x8755B12f034ee7b2383fCF5E849201C71622CC44[/truncate-text] → 0x8755.....22CC44

Nested Shortcode Example

• [truncate-shortcode limit="6" location="end" dots="4"][another-shortcode][/truncate-shortcode]
  Processes the inner shortcode first, then truncates the result.
