Excerpt limit just for this widget

It’s unlikely I’ll add this as an option, but it’s easy to do via one of the filters in the plugin!

add_filter( 'fpw_excerpt', 'wp8887975_trim_fpw_excerpt' );
function wp8887975_trim_fpw_excerpt( $excerpt ) {
	$excerpt = wp_trim_words( $excerpt, 30, '…' );
	return $excerpt;
}

That trims the widget excerpt to 30 words and appends a “…” to the end of any excerpt that gets trimmed (the '…'). Adjust as needed ??

Thanks. So where do I put this?

and if so simple, why not just add it. It really is a very useful addition.

If you use a custom child theme or custom theme, you can put it in your functions.php file.

Creating a custom /mu-plugin/ is probably the best option. Here’s a gist showing that: https://gist.github.com/mrwweb/0235f18da595eca8351e7c51512d274d

This plugin is as easy-to-use as it is because it doesn’t include tons of options and variations ??

Thank you.I appreciate your approach. Fully understood.

To be honest I cannot imagine wanting any other option.

I will look into having it in my custom theme.
