Limit meta description tag

Hello

I'm trying to limit the meta description in 150 characters, is there anybody who can help?
I've already checked this thread, but its not working.

Any help would be great, thank you.

I can't see offhand why that wouldn't work (it would only work on the showthread.php page of course). But code in showthread.php is already limiting it to 500 chars, so another thing you could do is edit the file and change 500 to 150.

Thank you so much for your help, i changed it to 150 but the meta description is still too long!

Just ignore my last post, the issue is now fixed, thank you :)

Use this on as plugin, at hook location showthread post start ;)

PHP Code:


		
			
$short = $thread['meta_description']; 
$thread['meta_description'] = substr($short, 0, 160);

Honestly I do not think this 150 limit is so important any longer especially with the hummingbird updates. The thread linked was from 2009.

Thanks.
This is where we should write the code?
