    the parameters is not usable in the widget, but it is in the shortcode.

    If your theme does apply “do_shortcode” filter on text widgets, you can use it right now !

    Hi Bastien,

    What I mean was I want to add the excerpt here, see screenshot:

    I also created a text widget, but no excerpt display.
    [events_list future=1 past=0 nb=10 excerpt=1]

    My site: http://www.wintersdrift.com/news/

    many thanks

    ok, did you try to manually add any content to the excerpt ?

    Hi, Not sure what you mean…

    I add a few words to the post excerpt area, and then hope for it to display below tthe text widget.

    That is why I tried to add this code to the eventpost.php or the widget.php
    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

    Humm… my bad.
    Between 2 edits, I changed the variable from $post->post_excerpt to $post->excerpt.

    It will work with version 2.8.6

    can you confirm ?
