## Description

Note: This update requires that updating of your code:
 • Update ‘the_content_limit();’
with ‘lpao_the_content();’ • Update ‘get_the_content();’ with ‘lpao_get_the_content();’

Limit-Post is one of the better WordPress post content limiters we have come across,
both in terms of usability and size. Developed by labitacora.net Limit-Post provides
excellent control over the post character-length and even adds the ability to create
a “read more …” link with a single line of code.

With “Limit Post Add-On” we have expanded on the original plugin to include WordPress’
get_the_content tag in order to limit post copy with stripped html tags.
