 * I am using the blog widget and it is not displaying the correct number of characters
   for the excerpt. I have tried all number of characters and it seems to have no
   effect. Just a short default number of characters seems to appear. Also the (…)
   at the end is not showing either.

 * Hi thinmantis,
 * I tested out the issues you brought up along with the Vantage theme. I was unable
   to relicate the issue.
 * Would it be possible for you to create a temporary admin account for me? I’ll
   log in and take a look at what’s going on. Just send the details to [hello@wpinked.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-excerpt-problems/hello@wpinked.com?output_format=md)
 * Thanks,
 * Adi
