For the words before the read more tag, the last word is always removed and replaced with "…" . Please see screenshot attached.

Hi

You’re mentioning the articles in Articles Category module in Homepage, right?

Just go to Extensions > Modules > find Articles Category module you want to change > Display Options tab > change the limit value for the introtext as you wish: http://prntscr.com/9vs7qx

Its not related to the "limit". The bug is that the system will remove the LAST WORD regardless of the limit. Do take a look at the previous screenshots.

You can update credentials of your site: URL & Admin account in this topic so I can have a look

I checked your site and saw that it belongs to the featured articles of your site. You can try this tweak:

• Open the file: ROOT/templates/ja_magz_ii/html/com_content/featured/default.php

• Underneath this line:

defined('_JEXEC') or die;

add this code snippet:

if(!function_exists('cut_string')){
function cut_string($title, $max)
{
if($title!=''){
if(is_array($title)) list($string, $match_to) = $title;
else { $string = $title; $match_to = $title{0}; }

$match_start = stristr($string, $match_to);
$match_compute = strlen($string) - strlen($match_start);

if (strlen($string) > $max)
{
if ($match_compute < ($max - strlen($match_to)))
{
$pre_string = substr($string, 0, $max);
$pos_end = strrpos($pre_string, " ");
if($pos_end === false) $string = $pre_string."...";
else $string = substr($pre_string, 0, $pos_end)."...";
}
else if ($match_compute > (strlen($string) - ($max - strlen($match_to))))
{
$pre_string = substr($string, (strlen($string) - ($max - strlen($match_to))));
$pos_start = strpos($pre_string, " ");
$string = "...".substr($pre_string, $pos_start);
if($pos_start === false) $string = "...".$pre_string;
else $string = "...".substr($pre_string, $pos_start);
}
else
{
$pre_string = substr($string, ($match_compute - round(($max / 3))), $max);
$pos_start = strpos($pre_string, " "); $pos_end = strrpos($pre_string, " ");
$string = "...".substr($pre_string, $pos_start, $pos_end)."...";
if($pos_start === false && $pos_end === false) $string = "...".$pre_string."...";
else $string = "...".substr($pre_string, $pos_start, $pos_end)."...";
}

$match_start = stristr($string, $match_to);
$match_compute = strlen($string) - strlen($match_start);
}

return $string;
}else{
return $string ='';
}
}
}

• Find the following line of code:

  <?php 
  $this->item->introtext = substr(strip_tags($this->item->introtext), 0, 200);
  $this->item->introtext = substr($this->item->introtext, 0, strrpos($this->item->introtext, ' ')) . " ...";
  echo $this->item->introtext;
  ?>

  Change it to:

  <?php 
      echo cut_string($this->item->introtext, 300);
  ?>

Then change 300 to your desired value

Hope it helps.

I attach it below.

You can download and unzip & copy to directory: ROOT/templates/ja_magz_ii/html/com_content/featured/

Remember to backup the old file first.

To change number of character, check line 117: echo cut_string($this->item->introtext, 300);

Yes, the above solution is applied for Featured Blog content in homepage. Try to check the menu item of that page and see which type it is, then apply the same changes as above for associated file of that menu item.

The associated file locate in this path: ROOT/templates/ja_magz_ii/html/com_content/category/
