Update old content truncation function #97

Closed getdave closed 11 years ago

getdave commented 11 years ago

There is a function in helpers to truncate the the_content(). It isn't particularly good and often does things like cut off mid-word and does not account for situations where it might accidentally break HTMK markup by trimming strings.

A better solution is

<?php echo balanceTags(wp_trim_words( get_the_content(), $num_words = 20, $more = "..." ), true); ?>

Please implement, test and remove old function.
