But I want to use it in the Newscast Sidebar News widget title, it doesn't work. What can I do? Thanks...

You can use the more tag to tell wordpress where to break apart articles in preview areas like widgets or overview pages: <a href="http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/" rel="nofollow">http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/</a> Regards, Devin torikonen on "Widget Title and Body Text" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/widget-title-and-body-text#post-90287 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 22:29:24 +0000 torikonen 90287@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hi, I have a "Newscast sidebar news" widget on the sidebar. I want to add archive link to widget title. How can I do it? Another question: In this widget, the body text is too long. How can I shorten? Thanks...
