    Deciding between a few premium themes Daily Dish, Magazine Pro, and Metro Pro wanted to know what the maximum title length was?

    All these themes give you a preview of the first few lines of the post before giving you the option to "continue to read". I'd rather have a long title without previewing the first few sentences of the post is this an option in any of these 3 themes?

    Anything's possible with some extra code or modification. I think you're referring to the length of the excerpt or content limit which can be changed in the customize > theme settings > content archive settings.

    I don't know anything about writing code. Any idea if how these themes are offered out-of-box what the maximum word count or character count is for the Title Area?

    Yes, it was the length of the excerpt. Thanks for that info.

    Try my answer. You have 2 solutions.

    If you're referring to the title length, you can use any length you like.

    The optimal title length is between 55 and 60 characters.
