Hi,

the "sidebar news" widget ignores my  tag in the post for limiting the excerpt of the post text shown in the sidebar.
- What can I do, that it takes effect?
- And besides: how can I limit the excerpts to a certain number of characters in this widget?

sorry, haven't known anymore, that I've asked this one year ago.

The solution for a general excerpt lenght is here:
http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/text-excerpt-in-widget-newscast-sidebar-news-works-not-right

But:

There's still the question, why my more-tag in the post doesn't work for the sidebar-news-widget.
In some cases I would like to cut the excerpt length individually.

What can I do, so that the more-tag in the post takes really effect in the sidebar-news-widget?

Thanks in advance.

Hey!

In newscast\framework\theme_widgets\sidebar_news.php replace:
```
the_excerpt();
```
with:
```
the_content('');
```
