How to fix WordPress Fatal error: Call to undefined function the_content_limit() in

Shortly after installing my WordPress theme and I pulled up a page that listed all of my blog postings and received the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function the_content_limit() in

After a bit of searching around I was able to locate a fix created by Alfonso Sanchez-Paus Diaz y Julian Simon de Castro. The fix generates a link to read the full content of a post if that post exceeds the set amount of content for your theme.

This is a fix it and forget it solution.  Many thanks to these guys for making it so easy.

To apply this fix:

1. Go to this page
2. Copy the content of the page
3. Open up notepad or your favorite text editor
4. Paste the copied content
5. FTP to your WordPress server and navigate to the wp-content/plugins directory
6. Transfer the file
7. Then go to the Plugins section of your WordPress Admin panel
8. Sort the ‘Inactive’ plugins and find the plugin titled “Limit Posts”
9. Click ‘Activate’… and you’re done!
