Hi Tom, thanks 🙂
I’ve tried that but the custom excerpt length doesn’t work when a manual excerpt has been set on the post page as far as I can tell? It just uses the manual excerpt.
Even then, it would leave the WP Show Posts excerpt at a word length that will leave the excerpt ending at mid sentence most of the time, and that I have no control over unless I edit the content of the post to suit the excerpt. Would it be possible to have a WP Show Posts excerpt option box on each post page, that defined a specific custom excerpt for displaying with WP Show Posts?
