    I figured out how to change the WP global excerpt value (just search for ‘excerpt’ in functions.php and you’ll find it soon), but it would be nice if I could just customize through the plugin w/o having to mess with the global setting.

    The plugin calls the wordpress function ‘get_the_excerpt()’ which doesn’t take any arguments. I’m sure there’s some way to cut down the except by a custom length but it’d add fairly substantially to the length and complexity of the plugin.

    While I like to think my plugin helps in a few niche cases, to really control category output you’ll want to use a custom template. It gives a lot more control. ~RD
