Yes you can, I can’t see why you won’t be allowed to.

try including it like this:

<!--#include virtual="filename.html" -->

Let me know if it works.

Come on phoenix, link a brotha. http://themeforest.net/item/collective-community-wordpress-theme/123906

You can’t promote items in the forums, that’s why he just stated the name for the person to use the “search” bar.

Have a look at the Forum Rules about using links

looking pretty good so far

Well to be quite honest with you. The theme design looks quite outdated. Also the content has no breathing room. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good theme if you add more design elements to it and fix it up a bit. Just have a look at some top selling themes similar to what your theme is trying to accomplish, which I guess is like a news/magazine type.

I hope this helps out a little bit. - Kevin

Can we see some of your previous works please?

I actually got another way too.

This in functions file:

function excerpt($limit) {
      $excerpt = explode(' ', get_the_excerpt(), $limit);
      if (count($excerpt)>=$limit) {
        array_pop($excerpt);
        $excerpt = implode(" ",$excerpt).'...';
      } else {
        $excerpt = implode(" ",$excerpt);
      } 
      $excerpt = preg_replace('`\[[^\]]*\]`','',$excerpt);
      return $excerpt;
    }

then you would use this in your template:

<?php echo excerpt(40); ?>

You can also do the same for content too.

function content($limit) {
      $content = explode(' ', get_the_content(), $limit);
      if (count($content)>=$limit) {
        array_pop($content);
        $content = implode(" ",$content).'...';
      } else {
        $content = implode(" ",$content);
      } 
      $content = preg_replace('/\[.+\]/','', $content);
      $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content); 
      $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
      return $content;
    }

then you would use this in your template:

<?php echo content(45); ?>

Not too sure if this is a good way but it works and it’s flexible to allow you to see whatever size you want to display.

This should help

thanks a ton

hello all, i’m currently attempting to make a wordpress theme and I’ve hit a wall in this road of development. On my homepage, i have a section where it displays 3 of the latest blog posts. It has the title, post date, thumbnail and some content.

Now what I would like to know is if I could limit the word count to a certain amount for certain areas where the excerpt is being pulled because the blog page will be using the same content but will have a little bit more because of the size. I also know that WordPress automatically takes the first 55 words if an excerpt isn’t placed.

If you could help, thanks.

I think I’m number 4
