I have a template file stick.php
. I am calling number of post by category id on stick.php, all i want to have the post titles displayed the first five words of post title.
I am beginner and have no idea of how the code should look like.
I am using the following code to callback the specific post from a category
<?php $catquery = new WP_Query( 'cat=48&posts_per_page=7' );
while($catquery->have_posts()) : $catquery->the_post(); ?>
<?php the_post_thumbnail( array(50, 50) ); ?>
<a class="aclass" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">
<?php the_title(); ?></a>
<?php endwhile; ?>
Here at the_title();
instead of displaying full title, I only need to display first five words.
