function content($limit) { $content = explode(' ', get_the_content(), $limit); if (count($content)>=$limit) { array_pop($content); $content = implode(" ",$content).'...'; } else { $content = implode(" ",$content); } $content = preg_replace('/[.+]/','', $content); $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content); $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content); return $content; }
