 * Hey, your plugin is brilliant! It works very reliable and offers an easy approach
   to customizing.
 * Yet, I have a problem with trimming posts. The theme I use doesn’t have archive.
   php nor single.php. It just offers head.php, index.php and footer.php.
 * I added the aforesaid function to function.php, but changing `the_content();`
   in index.php to `echo custom_trim_excerpt(200);` worked only partially: the text
   was trimmed to 200 words, but the link to the original URL as specified in the
   WPMatico template wasn’t generated anymore. My WPMatico template looks like this:
 *     ```
       {content}
       <a href="{feedurl}">Source ({feeddescription})</a>
       ```
   
 * Switching back to `the_content();` enables the link to the source again, but 
   then again I get no trimming.
 * Do you have a suggestion what else I could try?

 * Plugin doesn’t work on my blog either. After sending an error message is shown,
   saying that the data is insufficient.

 * But I cannot put php into php, can I?
 * Or should it be like this:
 * `
    <?php if (is_single()) { echo '<h2><?php _e($posts_widget_title); ?></h2>';}
   else { echo '<h2><?php _e($posts_widget_title); ?></h2>'; } ?>
 * But this would not make sense, since both times the same widget title will be
   given. Or am I on the wrong track?
 * Cheers,
    Luka

 * Yeah, wow, it works!
    Thank you for your help!
 * EDIT:
 * Just this one’s a problem:
    `<?php if (is_single()) { $posts_widget_title = '
   Recent Posts'; } else { $posts_widget_title = 'Random Posts'; } ?> How do I handle
   it best?
