 * Hi Kevin,
    I love your plugin! Really good work! Thanks a lot! Only, it seems
   that I have no control over the length of the widget. I turned on the excerpt
   option and set the length to 25 letters, the height variable. The excerpt is 
   made, but the testimonials differed in length. Then I set the widget height to
   125. But it ignores this, too. Any help for that would be much appreciated! The
   page you can see it, is [http://praesenz-web.de/das-angebot/](http://praesenz-web.de/das-angebot/)
   Thank you! Ulf
 * PS For other questions I open a new support question.

 * Sorry again! It is not resolved! Proof, that it does what it wants re. the length/
   height… 😉 . I just encounter the same problem again…
    Please reply. Thanks.

 * The word length is approximate. The filter will attempt to finish the sentence,
   and looks for an end of sentence indicator.

 * Then there is very great span in it. From a few centimeters, so to say, to at
   least the triple size which stretches the whole thing very long. Would love to
   attach two screenshots but this is not possible here.
