Hi,

I just noticed that after installing wordtube my excerpts are set back to their default lenghts. I'm using WordTube 2.2.2 version.

I use the following filter in my function.php:

add_filter('excerpt_length', 'my_excerpt_length');
function my_excerpt_length($length) {
return 25; }

When I deactive wordtube the filter works again.
I tried to change the excerpt's lenghts in formatting.php:

function wp_trim_excerpt($text) {
	$raw_excerpt = $text;
	if ( '' == $text ) {
		$text = get_the_content('');

		$text = strip_shortcodes( $text );

		$text = apply_filters('the_content', $text);
		$text = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $text);
		$text = strip_tags($text);
		$excerpt_length = apply_filters('excerpt_length', 25);
		$words = explode(' ', $text, $excerpt_length + 1);
		if (count($words) > $excerpt_length) {
			array_pop($words);
			array_push($words, '[...]');
			$text = implode(' ', $words);
		}
	}
	return apply_filters('wp_trim_excerpt', $text, $raw_excerpt);
}

But the blog shows 55 characters, so I guess wordtube overwrites this function.

I don't want to use plugins to change the length of the excerpt.
Is there anyone who bumped into this problem? Any suggestion?

Thanks. And thanks for the plugin.
