There might be cases where you have long blog post archive titles and want to truncate them to a predifined number of words.

You can add a wp_head hook element and write the following PHP snippet which will trancate blog post titles to 7 words:

<?php

function wpse_360758_trim_words( $title, $post_id ) {
    if ( is_admin() ) {
        return $title;
    }

    if ( in_the_loop() && 'post' === get_post_type( $post_id ) ) {
        $title = wp_trim_words( $title, 7, '...' );
    }

    return $title;
}
add_filter( 'the_title', 'wpse_360758_trim_words', 10, 2 );

?>

Activate the Execute PHP checkbox and set the hook element to be displayed on the blog archive only.
