    This looks really useful.

    At the moment, however, the plugin doesn’t show a post’s excerpt, and instead picks the first n words of the post (according to how many are specified in the widget).

    Would it be possible to have the widget show the excerpt for each post that I’ve already manually created (and without any following ellipsis)?

    Plugin use words from content of the post. There is no hook in current version of the plugin so you have to change plugin’s code.
    You can find following code at line 115 of post-from-category.php
    <p><?php echo custom_limit_words(sanitize_text_field(get_the_content()), $post_length); ?></p>

    Please replace it with
    <p><?php echo custom_limit_words(sanitize_text_field(get_the_excerpt()), $post_length); ?></p>

    Please note that your changes will be loss when you update plugin in future. But, I will provide hooks and function in upcoming version so you can override it from your theme functions.
