Strip shortcodes from summary

Hello,

I would like to ask for a feature in the next release.

At this point it isnt (to my knowledge) possible to strip shortcodes from the summary.

I had to change to plugin’s code to achieve that (line 468, widget-recent-posts-extended.php).

function rpwe_excerpt( $length ) {
	$content = strip_shortcodes( get_the_content() ); // strip shortcodes
	$excerpt = wp_trim_words( $content, $length );

	return $excerpt;
}

I hope this option will be included in the upcoming release because, of course, I don’t really want to edit the code.

Kind regards,
Jeffrey
