No Edit Template Styles After Update to Joomla 5.2.4

If you have already upgraded to Joomla 2.5.4 we strongly urge you not to edit the style of your template because there is a bug in the Checkbox field. If you edit it many parts of your website will disappear. We are waiting for answers from Joomla on this matter.

UT Articles Pro Character limit on title

Hello, is there a way to limit the number of characters in an article title with UT Articles Pro? 

I can't seem to find that option in settings and article titles are pushing content down the page whereas if I could put a 40 character limit on title it would look much cleaner. 

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Hi, there is no limitation to truncating characters from code, but you could use CSS, which will automatically leave titles on a single line and display characters according to the width of the title space.
Code:
.ut-articles-pro .article-title {display: block;white-space: nowrap;overflow: hidden;text-overflow: ellipsis;}

If you are using one of our templates you can create the custom.css file at templates/ut_NAME/css/custom.css and paste the CSS into that file. If the template is from another provider you should have a similar option.
