 * Hey There
 * This plugin is exactly what I need, but instead of using “the_excerpt()” to display
   excerpts, the theme I’m using uses “{!$post->content}.” The developer suggested
   I change it to “{!$post->excerpt}” which gets the excerpts to display, but I 
   need your plugin to control additional settings.
 * Any advice?
