 * Plugin works great but is there a way to be able to display the ‘CUSTOM EXERPT’
   of a post?
 * At present I have a thumbnail and the title of posts but I need the custom exerpt
   as this is where the secondary title sits on each post.
    Appreciate any help 
   ASAP. Thanks, M

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks for reporting. It appears to be a bug in the plugin, just noticed that
   WPP won’t pick up custom excerpts. Will look into it as soon as possible.

 * Hi,
    Any chance you’ve been able to have a look at the custom excerpt issue? 
   thanks, M

 * Hi there,
 * That should have been fixed since WPP 3.1.0. Are you still having issues with
   this?

 * I have Version 3.1.1 installed but I can’t see where/how it picks up the custom
   excerpt.
 * What is the tag/shortcode……
 * Appreciate your help and response.

 * The plugin picks the custom excerpt automatically if its available -that is if
   the editor (you) filled in the Custom Excerpt field in the New / Edit Post screen-
   otherwise it’ll create one from post content. Whatever the result is, the excerpt
   is then passed to the `{summary}` content tag.

 * yes, the custom excerpt field has text in it but it’s creating excerpt text and
   not picking up the custom excerpt text.
 * confused 🙁

 * Works for me (see [screen capture)](http://oi57.tinypic.com/v2so0j.jpg).
 * Can you elaborate a bit more on what you’re doing over there? You haven’t shared
   much details so I’m guessing you’re using either the wpp shortcode or the wpp_get_mostpopular().
