# limit article characters

 * Under the Display Settings tab, in the limit article characters box, when I change
   this value to 100 characters, update, clear both the input and output cache, 
   refresh the page, it still brings in the full description, around 300 characters.
   I was going to limit it with css but then noticed the titles are wrapped in tags
   but the descriptions are not, so there’s nothing to hook the style to. I deactivated/
   reactivated and it’s still not taking. Might be a conflict with another plugin
   but wanted to run this by you here to see if you could reproduce this or if the
   issue is unique to my setup. My feature request is that there be an option for
   description formatting (similar to the title formatting) on the custom formatting
   tab.

 * Hi sime0n,
    I’ll check on the article char limit this evening. Thanks for the
   heads up.
 * Regarding the feature request, I am actually currently working on that and about
   1/2 way done. 🙂 The articles will be in their own divs and we’ll be able to 
   set the formatting just like the titles can be set.
 * Best regards,
    SP Developer

 * Hi sime0n,
    I just tried to reproduce your char length issue and was unable to
   do so.
 * I wonder if your cache dir permissions are set correctly? Perhaps SP was unable
   to delete the cache? How did you install SP? Can you contact me directly via 
   the address in the admin help tab. Send me the url of your site and the SP version
   along with your exact config setting for the display tab.
 * Thanks,

 * Very cool, looking forward to the new description divs, thank you. I also was
   wondering about the cache not emptying, so I deleted them manually via ftp but
   it didn’t seem to resolve things. I installed SP via the ‘Add New’ plugin section
   on my site initially. I’ll get in touch via the support tab like you suggest.
   Thanks!
