  1. I just found a solution to limiting the number of words in the excerpt without plugins. Add the following code to your functions.php file.

    <?php
// Custom Excerpt 
function excerpt($limit) {
$excerpt = explode(' ', get_the_excerpt(), $limit);
if (count($excerpt)>=$limit) {
array_pop($excerpt);
$excerpt = implode(" ",$excerpt).'...';
} else {
$excerpt = implode(" ",$excerpt);
} 
$excerpt = preg_replace('`[[^]]*]`','',$excerpt);
return $excerpt;
}

// Content Limit 
function content($limit) {
$content = explode(' ', get_the_content(), $limit);
if (count($content)>=$limit) {
array_pop($content);
$content = implode(" ",$content).'...';
} else {
$content = implode(" ",$content);
} 
$content = preg_replace('/[.+]/','', $content);
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content); 
$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]&gt;', $content);
return $content;
}
?>

    If you want to limit your excerpt to 25 words the code would look like this:

    <?php echo excerpt(25); ?>
<?php echo content(25); ?>

    Another way to display limited excerpt by character. Here is the functions.php file code.

    <?php
function get_excerpt(){
$excerpt = get_the_content();
$excerpt = preg_replace(" ([.*?])",'',$excerpt);
$excerpt = strip_shortcodes($excerpt);
$excerpt = strip_tags($excerpt);
$excerpt = substr($excerpt, 0, 100);
$excerpt = substr($excerpt, 0, strripos($excerpt, " "));
$excerpt = trim(preg_replace( '/s+/', ' ', $excerpt));
$excerpt = $excerpt.'... <a href="'.get_the_permalink().'">Read More</a>';
return $excerpt;
}
?>

    After this you need to add where you want to display your customized character by character. 

    <?php echo get_excerpt(); ?>
