Hi,
Thank you for your review.
About your question, That is limitation of Free plugin.
To able to use Manual excerpt of post, please upgrade to Pro plugin at http://www.contentviewspro.com/
Best regards,
That is a real shame. I love this plugin – the free version does everything I need… except use the custom excerpt. If I needed all the other bells and whistles, I would gladly pay for the pro version, but not for this one thing.

Maybe you will figure out some advanced features which you are looking for 🙂
it’s a well built and very flexible plugin – for only $29 you get to support the author AND unlock a lot of features (styling, etc). it also helps protect the longevity of the plugin when we support it. just my 2 cents but it’s been well worth the tiny investment.
