 * Widget excerpt length doesnt seem to be applied in widget? It just shows the 
   whole thing (which is too much for a homepage of the site.
    Also Is there anyway
   of having a “read More” link.
 * Otherwise seems like the best Paid or Free testimonial widget out there….Well
   done

 * You can turn on the excerpts feature in the options menu. You can also set the
   number of words there.

 * Thanks for the fast response.
    I have set the excerpt length in the widget and
   content by ticking the box for both and also tried each one seperately but still
   not working. Could it be another plugin conflict issue?
 * Have to say this is an amazing plugin and the fact that its free…wow. Thanks

 * Is your site live? What is your website address so I can take a look? I rechecked
   and the excerpts are working fine on my testbed.
