    Congrats on this highly customizable widget. Using a custom sidebar tutorial ive made it into my main slideshow on the homepage.

    Now i wish to add these two features, could u elaborate how to achieve this?

    I would like:

    1. To always have the word “News: ” in front of the title in the sidebar. This will appear somewhat smaller than the post title itself.

    2. I would like a ‘read more >’ button to show on each slide.

    Please help me out, thank you.

    Since you’re making your own sidebar, I would assume that you could put another widget prior with anything else that you want, styled to match.

    Right now the plugin displays the excerpt in views/display.php:49, which has

    $output .= '<p>' . $display->recent_post_flexslider_excerpt(get_the_content(), $excerpt_length) . '</p>';

    I would change that to

    $output .= '<p>' . $display->recent_post_flexslider_excerpt(get_the_content(), $excerpt_length, '') . '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">read more ></a></p>';

    Note that there is already an option to make the whole slide a link if you’d like that.
