 * The plugin works fine however I’d like for it to also display the excerpt from
   the post in the sidebar as well…I don’t want the entire post content to display,
   just the excerpt…can you please give me the code? Thank you

 * You want this plugin can count the post views times when you use `the_excerpt();`
   function to display.
    The most easy way is find 　`add_filter('the_content', '
   process_postviews');` and add the code 　`add_filter('the_excerpt', 'process_postviews');`
   after what you find
 * I will do more test, and release a new version

 * What I really need to do is display the post content (ONLY before the <!–more–
   > tag). I am able to add the entire post content by using “post_content”, however
   I just want to display the content before the <!–more–>…
 * I have to edit something here (line 151 in postviews.php):
 *     ```
       if($chars > 0) {
       				foreach ($most_viewed as $post) {
       					$post_title = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($post->post_title));
   
       					$post_views = intval($post->views);
       					$post_views = number_format($post_views);
       					$temp .= "<li><a href=\"".get_permalink()."\">".snippet_chars($post_title, $chars)."</a></li>\n";
   
       				}
       			} else {
       				foreach ($most_viewed as $post) {
       					$post_title = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($post->post_title));
   
       					$post_views = intval($post->views);
       					$post_views = number_format($post_views);
       					$temp .= "<li><a href=\"".get_permalink()."\">$post_title</a></li>\n";
   
       				}
       ```

    I think you are using [WP-PostViews](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-postviews/#post-370)
   From Lester ‘GaMerZ’ Chan. It,s not the same.
