Is there a way to limit posts in WordPress? You can always use the more-tag and if you use it you can manually insert a break-point to cut your posts where you like. What if you want to do it automatically? Then this plugin is the answer. You can choose where it should limit your posts (home, category, archive and search). You also have some other features, for example to choose the limit method (cut by letter, word or paragraph).

History

Why did I make this? I almost always forgot to put a more-tag into my posts and at first I created some quick fix for it at my own website. At the time I didn’t found any good plugin for it. I still havn’t found the perfect plugin for this so I created my own.
