    I want to use the featured post widget to function the same as the donation page in the Foundation live theme, but when I try to limit the characters in the widget of the blog excerpt, it doesn’t change anything. This results in it showing more text than I want which bleeds under the featured image. How can I get it so that the text cuts off sooner?

    My apologies for missing this.

    The featured post widget has a four different content display options. You can show the full content, the excerpt (either auto generated or the text that’s entered into the excerpt field on your post), no content or what we call the content limit option.

    The limit content ___ characters field only affects when you’re using the “show content limit” option. If you’d like to limit the content to a specific number of characters it’s the way to go.

    So if you want to limit characters, go with “Show Content Limit.”

    Let me know if you have trouble,
    Bill
