Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[misty]

Is there a way to truncate the "content" part of this on my cart's index page so just part 250 characters show up, not the whole post?

<?php
require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
?><?php
$posts = get_posts('numberposts=1'); // change to whatever number of posts to show
foreach($posts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<h2><strong><font color="red"><?php the_title(); ?></font></strong></h2>
<?php the_date(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?><hr />
<?php endforeach; ?>

If you include the Quicktag button called more, in the body of your post, only the portion above that line will be displayed to viewers. So, if you only want your front page to show the first sentence or two of every post, simply insert more code after the first line into every post you make.
