How to Limit the Speakers Bio

1. Backup the original files before making any changes.

2. Navigate to Appearance>>Editor and open the Speakers Page Template (template-speakers.php)

3. Look for the line: the_content(); (around line number 40)

4. Replace with this code:

$content = apply_filters(‘the_content’,get_the_content());
$length = 40;
$shortened = implode(‘ ‘,array_slice(str_word_count($content,1),1,$length))
$content = $shortened.’ …<br><a href=”‘ . get_permalink() . ‘”>Read more</a>’;
echo $content;

Here 40 is the number of words to show, please change it to your preferred value.

5. Update the file.
