I need a “Read More” after a certain amount of characters for the Users feed: https://veganlinked.com/users/ How can this be done?

There is no option for that, but I’ll get the developers to have a look at your question too.
Thanks

Hi Jeff,

Is that their bio or a custom text field?

Hello Stiofan, it’s a custom field.

Here’s some screen shots of the custom field settings and an example of the issue:

Hi,

You can limit the content using the following JS code:
```
jQuery(".uwp-users-loop div.d-inline-block").text(function(index, currentText) {
    return currentText.substr(0, 175);
});
```
Change the 175 to the number of characters you want to limit.

Regards,
Patrik

I’ve tried using “Custom CSS & JS” and it doesn’t appear to be working at all. I tried several different ways, changing the number of characters, etc… It doesn’t appear to do anything.

Hi,

I have added this as a custom JS code with the name “JS to limit vegan story characters on users page” in the Custom CSS & JS.

Please review it and let me know your inputs.

Patrik

Quick idea on this topic. I just noticed that the “Author Box” on posts probably needs a read more deal going on there too. I disabled it for now. But, the author box is really nice. But if the read more is something that can happen there too then I’ll definitely re-enable it. Either way, thanks! This plug is coming along nicely. I’m looking forward to experience it’s evolution
