问题描述：

I have a template file stick.php. I am calling number of post by category id on stick.php, all i want to have the post titles displayed the first five words of post title.

I am beginner and have no idea of how the code should look like.

I am using the following code to callback the specific post from a category

 <?php $catquery = new WP_Query( \'cat=48&posts_per_page=7\' ); 
while($catquery->have_posts()) : $catquery->the_post(); ?>     
<?php the_post_thumbnail( array(50, 50) ); ?>
<a class=\"aclass\"  href=\"<?php the_permalink() ?>\" rel=\"bookmark\">
<?php the_title(); ?></a>
<?php endwhile; ?>

Here at the_title(); instead of displaying full title, I only need to display first five words.

我有一个模板文件 stick.php </ code>。 我在stick.php上按类别ID调用了帖子的数量，所有我希望帖子标题显示帖子标题的前五个单词。 </ p>

我是初学者，不知道代码应该是什么样子。</ p>

我使用以下代码从一个回调特定的帖子 category </ p>

 ＆lt;？php $ catquery = new WP_Query（\'cat = 48＆amp; posts_per_page = 7\'）;  
while（$ catquery-＆gt; have_posts（））：$ catquery-＆gt; the_post（）;  ？＆GT;  
＆lt;？php the_post_thumbnail（array（50,50））;  ？＆gt; 
＆lt; a class =“aclass”href =“＆lt;？php the_permalink（）？＆gt;”  rel =“bookmark”＆gt; 
＆lt;？php the_title（）;  ？＆gt;＆lt; / a＆gt; 
＆lt;？php endwhile;  ？＆gt; 
</ code> </ pre> 
这里在 the_title（）; </ code>而不是显示完整标题，我只需要显示前五个字 </ strong>。</ p> 
</ div> 
网友观点：
You can use get_the_title() instead of the_title()  and trim the string to show first 5 words. Use this code.  
<?php $catquery = new WP_Query( \'cat=48&posts_per_page=7\' ); 
while($catquery->have_posts()) : $catquery->the_post(); ?>     
<?php the_post_thumbnail( array(50, 50) ); ?>
<?php $title = get_the_title(get_the_ID()); ?>
<a class=\\\"aclass\\\"  href=\\\"<?php the_permalink() ?>\\\" rel=\\\"bookmark\\\">
<?php echo wp_trim_words($title,5); ?></a>
<?php endwhile; ?>

Try like this, it should work,
simply use this where ever you want to display your title with limited words
<?php $catquery = new WP_Query( \'cat=48&posts_per_page=7\' ); while($catquery->have_posts()) : $catquery->the_post(); ?> <?php the_post_thumbnail( array(50, 50) ); ?><a class=\\\"aclass\\\"  href=\\\"<?php the_permalink() ?>\\\" rel=\\\"bookmark\\\"><?php echo wp_trim_words(the_title(),5); ?></a> <?php endwhile; ?>
replace number 5 in above code with whatever number of words you need to display.
