How to prevent Blog Titles from being Truncated

Store Design
,

Topic summary

A user running Dawn 8.0 theme is experiencing blog post titles being truncated on their homepage blog section.

Proposed Solution:

  • Navigate to Online Store → Theme → Edit code
  • Open the article-card.liquid file
  • Locate instances of article.title and remove the | truncate: 50 filter

Key Details:

  • Multiple instances of truncate:50 may exist in the file (around lines 80 and 119)
  • One user confirmed the second instance (line ~119) resolved their issue
  • The original poster tried the fix but reported it didn’t work initially; they also checked with their blogging app developer to rule out conflicts

Caution:
One participant reported breaking unrelated homepage links (About Us navigation) after making this change, suggesting careful testing is needed.

The discussion shows mixed results, with some users successfully resolving the truncation while others encountered issues or needed to try multiple instances of the code.

Hello Everyone!

We are running a store on Dawn 8.0 and we are having an issue where the Titles of our blogs are being truncated on the Home Page (in a Blog Posts Section). Is there a simple way to prevent that from happening and show the full Blog Post title?

Thank You!

I did try that, but unfortunately it did not solve the issue. I have reached out to the developer of the blogging app we use to see if something in their code affects that, but they confirmed it did not.

Here is the code:

There are several instances of “truncate:50” in article-card.liquid
You should try deleting one by one.
Mine first was around line 80 = didn’t help
Second instance was around line 119 = it solved the issue.

I did this, and it seems I broke something that seems to be unrelated. This may or may not be related but the links on home page for About Us (it is linked to the “About Us” page in Navigation) are broken. Any assistance appreciated! Rob
