 * I think I can help you both there. It was the same problem I had initially and
   after reviewing the code I came across an attribute (length) for the shortcode
   which seems to have been missed.
 * In your shortcode snippet use ” length=’35’ use_wp_excerpt=’false’ ” , changing
   the length to the required number of words you need. What this will do is take
   the main content and stop at the required number of words. By not using the excerpt
   it’ll ensure you get what you need.
 * Remember the won’t work on the excerpt and is why the ‘use_wp_excerpt=false’ 
   is set. Maybe the developer can implement the length feature for both the main
   content and excerpt in future versions.

 * Fantastic! The web can be a wonderful place to find workarounds or fixes and 
   hopefully the one you found will work. :O)
 * Look forward to hearing how you get on.
 * Thanks once again.

 * Coolmann,
 * Thanks for the reply and at least I know it’s out of your hands slightly too 
   being a third party software.
 * Let’s hope they allow you or us to be able to change those details in future 
   releases.
 * Appreciate the reply and great work you’ve done here.
