Hello All. I have come across some folks who have been searching for the solution on how to get rid of the ellipsis at the end of the word limiter (or character limiter) plugins. The solution is rather simple.
Now, I’m working on EE 2.0, but I’m sure the file is very similar in older versions. With that said ...
With an EE2.0 installation, navigate to : /system/expressionengine/libraries/Functions.php
Within that file you will come across a section dedicated to the Word Limiter Plugin. At the end of the function, the HTML character code for ellipsis is defined
…. To get rid of your ellipsis, just delete that piece of code.
I wrote a blog post related to this issue with a screenshot of what you should be looking for in the Functions.php file.
