Hi Guys,

I have this set up in the child theme but I cannot limit the Brand Description on the Single Product page to 40 charachters, this is what I need to alter:

<?php echo $brand->description;?>

It needs to be changed to something like this:

<?php echo wp_trim_words( $brand->description(), 40, '...' ); ?>

But what’s the correct php for this, any help would be greatly appriciated.

David

Hello,

Please try this code:
<?php if (strlen($brand->description()) > 40) { echo substr($brand->description(),0,40).'...';} else { echo $brand->description(); } ?>

Rose, your a star, you’ve gone one step further and by adding the condition.

There was an error in the code so I’ve changed it to:
```
<?php if (strlen($brand->description) > 145) { echo 
substr($brand->description,0,145).'...';} else { echo $brand->description;
 } ?>
```
I’ve taken out the () after description and it works brilliantly.

Thanks again.
David

this stopped working after the update to xstore5, I’ve changed it to:

<?php if (strlen($brand->description) > 145) { echo wp_specialchars_decode( substr($brand->description,0,245)).'...';} else { echo $brand->description; } ?>
