If you run a blog or news website, limiting the blog post title length keeps your listing pages consistent and easier to scan. Long post titles can create uneven layouts that interrupt the visual flow of your page.
The Post Listing block in Nexter Blocks lets you limit the blog post title by character count or word count.

Requirement – This block is a part of Nexter Blocks. Make sure it is installed and activated.
Add the Post Listing block to the page and select the listing type, post type, style, and layout from the block settings.
Go to the Extra Options tab and find the Show Title option.
Note: Turn on the Show Title toggle if it is turned off.
To limit the title by word count, select Word from the Limit section.
Note: You can also limit the title by characters, by selecting Character from the Limit section.
In the Maximum Words field, set the number of words to display in the post title. Use a lower value (3 to 5 words) when your listing layout has narrow columns, and a higher value when you have more horizontal space.
