This is for vertical trimming of multi-line text, and also works if the element has direct children. #### HOW TO USE Once you install and activate the plugin, there will be a new tab for it under the“ settings” admin menu. Go to this page, and enter the name of the CSS class you are using in your HTML to specifiy which elements should be truncated. Click save, and that’s it! ### License ``` Copyright 2016 Jordan Carter This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

Download from plugins repository 2. Activate plugin ## FAQ * What if my HTML class has children? Currently, the plugin handles direct children, as well as elements with no children. Just provide the HTML class of the parent element, and the plugin will do the rest! ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4cdfc3c94611f438a31a1d4a326799055eafb38a64dff1c8a9a6803d15c467ce? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good idea but… (cut)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-idea-but-cut/)󠁿 [janomix](https://profiles.wordpress.org/janomix/) March 16, 2017 Hi, good plugin, but need an option to setting how many lines or words or character I wanna cut.
