Open your index.php or whatever area you want to limit your character.
Then replace

the_title

with this code.

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
<?php
$thetitle = $post->post_title;
$getlength = strlen($thetitle);
$thelength = 25;
echo substr($thetitle, 0, $thelength);
if ($getlength > $thelength) echo "...";
?>
</a>

Open your index.php or whatever area you want to limit your character.
Then replace

the_title

with this code.

<a rel="nofollow" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
<?php
$thetitle = $post->post_title;
$getlength = strlen($thetitle);
$thelength = 25;
echo substr($thetitle, 0, $thelength);
if ($getlength > $thelength) echo "...";
?>
</a>

I found the code:

$postheader .= '<h3 class="entry-title"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" rel="bookmark">' . get_the_title() . '</a></h3>';

I think red code above for title. But i dont know do that to shorten my title.
Please help me.
Thank you.
