Multiple categories menu text limit was created by siamnaulak

Hi, I desperately need help on this please.

I create K2 Categories Menu with multiple categories and make to display 10 items in each page, and all is correct. Now I want to show intro text of 50 words for each items with read more. To do this I go to Components > K2 > Parameters > Content and write 50 at 'Item Introtext word limit' and Hide '
Item Fulltext'. But my my blog layout is still showing full text instead of intro 50 words.

Can any one please tell me how to fix?

Hi Krikor, it works, thank you so much...

Let me explain what I did so that it may benefit someone like me :)

I go to components/com_k2/templates/default/category_item.php and edit 'category_item.php' file

LINE 129

Before

<!-- Item introtext -->
	  <div class="catItemIntroText">
	  	<?php echo $this->item->introtext; ?> 
	  </div>

After

<!-- Item introtext -->
	  <div class="catItemIntroText">
	  	<?php // echo $this->item->introtext; ?> 
                <?php echo K2HelperUtilities::wordLimit($this->item->introtext, 50); ?>
	  </div>

Thank you for coming back :)
You should however override this file instead of directly edit it.
