Hi Benno, I’m not sure if this will work for you or not, but you might give it a try.

1. If you want to limit the displayed blog content:
a. Edit your post that you want to limit
b. choose HTML editor
c. put <!--more--> quick tag at the point you want to limit the content.

2. Now if you want this plugin only shows a part of your post (not excerpt), here’s what you have to do:

a. download the plugin
b. Open the plugin folder on your computer and search for posts_loop_template.php
c. Open the posts_loop_template.php using notepad
d. Change the <?php the_excerpt(); ?> into:

<?php
global $more; // Declare global $more (before the loop).
$more = 0; // Set (inside the loop) to display content above the more tag.
the_content("More...");
?>

e. Upload posts_loop_template.php that you have edited inside theme folder that you use

This method work for me and I hope it works for you.
