    Kudos to the developer. The only feature I wish it had is the ability to display an excerpt. I managed to do this by extending class extends ‘Recent_Posts_Widget_With_Thumbnail’ in functions.php using ‘widgets_init’ action hook, then inserting ‘the_excerpt()’ following the post title, so here’s hoping this will be an option in the next release.

    Thank you for your feedback!

    I know how to implement the excerpt option but I want to keep the plugin simple and fast.

    I will ponder about that.

    I understand your reasoning and of course you of all people would know how to implement it. So I would only add that it’s only a few extra lines of code, and if the option was off by default, it shouldn’t affect speed unless users choose to turn it on.

    Finally you switch excerpts on and off and set the length of them in the new plugin version 3.0.
