Sage 9 - Truncate Excerpt/Content

Use the below snippets to truncate the excerpt of a Wordpress post, update the limit on line 1 to suit the design. Swap get_the_excerpt for get_the_content if required.

Add an argument to content.blade.php to override the limit in custom-functions.php.

custom-functions.php
content_copyfile_download
function truncated_excerpt($limit=16) {
  $excerpt = wp_trim_words( get_the_excerpt(), $limit, '…' );
  return "<p>$excerpt</p>";
}
content.blade.php
content_copyfile_download
{!! App\truncated_excerpt() !!}
