    WOOHOO!!! That’s about 95% of what I want, and 100% of what I need. I didn’t think about “Title Only.” Frankly, I can do without the excerpt, so I’m calling this a complete win.

    What’s really confusing is a few versions back of the WPBakery plugin, there was no shortcode in the excerpt. Now, there’s a ton of formatting shortcode, as you see above. I’m not sure what changed on their side.

    Thank you! You have preserved my sanity 😀

    Sorry I wasn’t clear 🙂

    I just want to suppress the post text altogether. I realize the content of the excerpt is completely out of your control, and the junk is completely from the theme I’m using.

    Here’s a screenshot:

    In the pic, the problem text is everything below the post title, before the bottom quick menu. It would be really cool to replace that with the Excerpt text that is manually entered, but if I can just get rid of it, I’d be happy.

    Duh… not sure how I managed to miss that connection, but yes: the feed posts go back to the original.

    Sorry =)

    Here’s the plugin I had to disable (Google Calendar Widget):

    http://notions.okuda.ca/wordpress-plugins/google-calendar-widget/

    On the view issue: when I open up the calendar view in the Admin back end, I can see the articles listed on the appropriate days. There is a ‘View’ button, and when I click it, it takes me to the originating post. So, if I’ve pulled that article in from another site, the View button takes me to that article on the other site. However, the actual post is on my blog as an entry (that is, I pull in a post from elsewhere, the post is editable on my site, but the header link from View goes to the original).

    Does that help?

    Sorry for the delay – I was expecting an email notice of replies 🙂

    This seems to be happening in all browsers (Mac OSX 10.5 & 10.6), but throwing no error code. The UI shows up just fine, just no posts.

    **edit**

    As I was writing this, I realized I had another calendar plugin active (to display a Google calendar). Disabling the google plugin seems to have worked. However, this brings up another question…

    When I see the entries in the back end, the ‘View’ button for articles that are created from a feed goes to the original article, not the local post. Is this expected behaviour? Is there any way to change this, or should I leave it alone?

    Thanks very much for responding!
