   I've searched many threads in the forum and found a solution to outputting the excerpts of post without being inside the loop... Only the solution I found doesn't work... What is going on?
   

   function wptuts_recentposts($atts, $content = null){
   global $post;
   $list_start = '<ul class="recent_posts">';
   $list_end = '</ul>';
   $output = '';
   $recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts();
   foreach( $recent_posts as $current_post ){
   get_post($current_post["ID"]);
   $excerpt = $postid->post_excerpt;
   		$output .= '
   <li>
   	<div class="recent_wrapper">
   		<h4><a href=' . get_permalink($current_post["ID"]) .  '>' .   $current_post["post_title"].'</a></h4>'. get_the_post_thumbnail($current_post["ID"], array(75,75)) . $excerpt . '
   	</div>
   </li>';
   	}
   return $list_start . $output . $list_end;
   
   }
   add_shortcode('recent_posts', 'wptuts_recentposts');
