 * Hi!
    I’ve got a problem using Excerpt length, whatever number I put in the “Excerpt
   length” field, the widget display the full excerpt. Any idea?
 * Edit: But when I do not use excerpt (and only content), it works !
    Well I will
   manage with that! [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/special-recent-posts/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/special-recent-posts/)

 * I’m having the same issue. No matter what I enter for “Max text size to display(*)”,
   it shows the same thing.
