    Thanks for the plugin first.

    I created an about me page. But this is a long one and put it into widget.

    When I come to homepage, on the sidebar, text is looking so long, how can I limit the text on the sidebar with the read more tag?

    It is not looking elegance.

    Thanks for your interest

    Please start by reviewing the 2nd and 3rd questions of the FAQ to ensure you’re properly using the Excerpt. You should be able to write that to be as short as you want.

    How do I set the widget text?
    The widget gets its text from the “Excerpt” field on the page you are featuring. See also: “Can I use HTML or a WYSIWYG/TinyMCE Editor with the Excerpt Field?”
    Go to the page you want to featured.
    Below the body field, look for the “Excerpt” field.
    Fill it in.
    Update the page.
    Where do I find the Featured Image or Excerpt fields? I don’t see them.
    The Featured Image and Excerpt fields are found on the Page editing screen of the Page you want to feature. If you don’t see them:
    In the top right corner of any Page, click “Screen Options.”
    From the menu that slides down, make sure the “Excerpt” and “Featured Image” are both checked.
    WordPress will remember this choice on all pages.

    If that does not answer your question, please send a link to your site so I can take a look.

    Closing this since there has been no response.

    Hi
    Actually would it be possible to have an option to limit the number of words showing from the excerpt? I need the longer Excerpt for other areas of my site, but would be good to limit it in this Widget if possible. I know one or tow others do do it and am looking at using them, but yours has been quite reliable so was wondering.

    Thanks

    I’ve responded to this in a separate thread.

    In the future, you’ll receive better support if you limit each thread to a single topic and only post a question once.
