Snippet: Add “Trim Title” Option to the Blog Grid Page Builder Module

// Add new setting to the blog grid module to enable trim titles (new setting will be added to the Title tab)
add_action( 'vc_after_init', function() {

    $settings = array(
        'type'       => 'vcex_ofswitch',
        'heading'    => esc_html__( 'Trim The Title', 'total' ),
        'param_name' => 'trim_title',
        'value'      => 'false',
        'group'      => esc_html__( 'Title', 'total' ),
    );

    vc_add_param( 'vcex_blog_grid', $settings );

} );

// Trim blog grid titles based on setting (change "2" to the number of words you wish to display)
add_filter( 'vcex_shortcode_loop_atts', function( $atts, $module = '' ) {
    if ( 'vcex_blog_grid' == $module && isset( $atts['trim_title'] ) && 'true' == $atts['trim_title'] ) {
        $atts[ 'post_title' ] = wp_trim_words( $atts[ 'post_title' ], 2, '…' );
    }
    return $atts;
}, 10, 2 );
