How to limit the title of wordpress to specific categories?

How to limit the title of wordpress for a particular category

I have this code to general limit the title of wordpress:

code in functions.php:

function titleLimitChar($title){
        if(strlen($title) > 30 && !(is_single()) && !(is_page())){ // not in single post page and page.
            $title = substr($title,0,30) . "..";
        }
        return $title;
    }
    add_filter( 'the_title', 'titleLimitChar' );

What should I add to the code to limit the title of wordpress to specific categories?

Your code is fine for common title limitation. You have to add extra checking for your category in the method as 

function titleLimitChar($title){
        if(is_category( '9' )){
            if(strlen($title) > 30 && !(is_single()) && !(is_page())){ // not in single post page and page.
                $title = substr($title,0,30) . "..";
            }
             return $title;
        }else{
         return $title;
        }   


    }
    add_filter( 'the_title', 'titleLimitChar' );

in the is_category() you use category id, category name and catgory-slug etc.

For Multiple categories just pass array in the parameter as 

array( 9, 'blue-cheese', 'Stinky Cheeses' )

Other uses to check specific category or categories as below from the WordPress developer portal.

is_category();
// When any Category archive page is being displayed.

is_category( '9' );
// When the archive page for Category 9 is being displayed.

is_category( 'Stinky Cheeses' );
// When the archive page for the Category with Name "Stinky Cheeses" is being displayed.

is_category( 'blue-cheese' );
// When the archive page for the Category with Category Slug "blue-cheese" is being displayed.

is_category( array( 9, 'blue-cheese', 'Stinky Cheeses' ) );

Source : Wp Developer is_category() function ;

Thank you!

you can use wp_trim_words()

This function trims text to a certain number of words and returns the trimmed text.

echo wp_trim_words( get_the_title(), 40, '...' );
