There was a glitch in version 1.0.1 that was most likely the cause. If you download the latest version it should work.

I tried to implement this on 1.6.0 in the following weblog entries tag and it didn’t produce any results:
{n_location}, {entry_date format="%F %d, %Y"} — {exp:trimmer left="3"}{n_body}{/exp:trimmer}
Basically, I have the location and the body in two different fields becasue this is a press release. However, I want the location and body to be on the same line, however the p tag is causing me problems so I thought this would be the perfect extension.

It takes any text-string between its tags and cuts off the number of chars specified.
The string in the example is “<p>Some text to trim.</p>” so it will actually remove “<p>” in the beginning and “</p>” at the end.

Don’t you mean it would return this?:
e text to t
Or am I completely misunderstanding this plugin?
