   Hi, thanks for the great plugin!

   When I insert the caption to the image in the post, actually the image caption shows up in the widget before the post. Is there any way not to show the caption in the widget?
   Thanks!

   Hi is it possible to style the name of the featured post? Currently it shows up the same size as the main post header in the centre column.
   Any help would be great. Nice plug-in.

   Great plugin but I need shortcode / template features and it doesn’t appear you have it working yet? Shame as this is exactly what I was looking for.

   Minor bug report:
   Line 90 leaves stray “” if the more_text field is empty.

   Change the end of that line from
   
   to

   Ooops, that code was munched up by some filter. Anyway, line 90 of recent-with-excerpts-widgets.php leaves three stray closing elements (a, small and p) if more_text is empty.

   Love your plugin for post excerpts, but I’m finding that the “…more” link is too far below the text of the excerpt to work with my theme.

   What would I change to move it up closer (like on the next line below the excerpt, instead of 2 or 3 lines below, as it is now)?

   Thanks so much!

    Love the plugin but when you click the post to read more and it goes to the blog the whole exerpt is included. So it’s repeating itself.

    Here is what happens – so the link was clicked and now you are reading the post page with the full post. Note the first 7 sentences are repeated so the exerpt is getting tagged on to the beginning of post making it quite redundant. How do I fix this?? (See example below)

    One of the things I love about the Energy Balls is how flexible they are. While we recommend starting your day by taking 3-4, it is perfectly acceptable, and we encourage, you to play with your protocol.

    Thank you for your help and for the plugin.

      Hi, Sadee. Normally, you would want the excerpt to be repeated, because people might reach that article in other ways (searching, linking from another post, etc.). If you really do want to omit it, though, you could replace the_content() in your theme file with get_extended(). The Codex info is a little sparse, but Monday By Noon has a good explanation.
