Limiting content in a post preview in front or blog page

Hey Paal do this

add_filter( 'the_content', 'hyperindian_modify_post_content' );

function hyperindian_modify_post_content( $content ) {

    // Stop here if we are on a single view.
    if ( is_singular() )
        return $content;

    // Return the excerpt() if it exists other truncate.
    if ( has_excerpt() )
        $content = '<p>' . get_the_excerpt() . '</p>';
    else
        $content = '<p>' . wp_trim_words( get_the_content(), 40, '...' ) . '</p>';

    // Return content and readmore.
    return $content . '<p>' . beans_post_more_link() . '</p>';

}

change the 40 on wp_trim_words

Awesome! Thank you very much for posting it Anupam even if I happen to miss it in the excerpt thread!
