Thanks for the great WordPress tips! I was hoping you could help me with an additional one?

I’d like to prevent my tags/categories from spilling over onto another line by limiting the number of tags/categories that appear in the footer of my individual homepage posts. Is it possible to do this with the “the_excerpt”? I would also like the excerpt to be a “…read more” link and limit the number of characters in it. Here is the code it would need to be added to;

$tags_list = get_the_tag_list( ”, __( ‘, ‘, ‘mummyblog’ ) ); if ( $tags_list ): ?>

Tagged %2$s’, ‘mummyblog’ ), ‘entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-tag-links’, $tags_list ); ?>

Thanks!

Date is NOT optional for RSS feeds. It is a MUST because that is how posts / articles are organized (reverse chronological order). You can remove the display of dates from the template, but you cannot remove them from the XML.

Great post! You obviously know a lot about wordpress coding so I’m hoping you can answer a question. How to you remove the date & time stamp from a wordpress feed-rss? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find any information on this. I’m working on a wordpress “site” and do not have a use for the dates. I have already removed them from the posts & pages.

Much thanks in advance!
