   Is there a way to change the number of words shown under the title of the post in the avisio sidebar news widget?

   Right now there are about 55 words displayed.

   Thanks!

   Hey,

   WordPress sets the excerpt length to 55 words. You can modify it with this filter:

   function new_excerpt_length($length) {
   	return 20;
   }
   add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length');

   This would change the length to 20 words. You can use any integer (number) value here.

   Add the function to the end of functions.php immediately under include_once(KFW.'/include_framework.php');.

   Note that this will affect the excerpt length everywhere, not just in this widget.

   Hope this helps!
