 * Hi and thank you very much for your amazing plugin, it’s what I was looking for.
   I have just 1 problem which I can’t solve because I’m not able to write php. 
   I’d like the title not longer than 30 letters and then 3 dots (…). Could you 
   help me? Thank you for your time and Best Regards

 * Hi enriart,
 * Unfortunately, that’s really beyond the nature of the plugin. If you’re at all
   comfortable with WordPress’s templates, you could learn the PHP you need pretty
   quickly. Here are a couple possible solutions I managed to Google up:
    - [http://stackoverflow.com/a/80066/1135190](http://stackoverflow.com/a/80066/1135190)
    - [http://technorati.com/technology/it/article/how-to-use-phps-substr-function/](http://technorati.com/technology/it/article/how-to-use-phps-substr-function/)
 * You’d want to start by following the instructions for using a custom output template
   in your theme’s folder: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/flexible-posts-widget/installation/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/flexible-posts-widget/installation/).
   And then use the examples I linked to above to replace `the_title` in your theme’s
   FPW template.
 * I hope that helps!
