  The posts slider widget in my sidebar won’t display an excerpt despite the fact that I’ve clicked the “Display the post’s excerpt” box, instead it displays only the post’s title. I’ve tried it with both a custom excerpt and the auto-excerpt, and I’m pretty sure I’ve got them working right because I can put a blog post carousel in the page content and it shows the excerpts. I’m attaching screenshots of the sidebar w/o excerpt and the sidebar widget set up I have for review. Thanks.

  Confirmed, assigning this to Ed so he’s aware of the bug.

  Any idea when this might be? My site is supposed to go live in a month, and this feature is rather important.

  Can you provide a link to the site so that I can check the output? It might be that the WooSlider doesn’t output this deliberatly as there wouldn’t be enough space.

  Hi Ed, sorry, I can’t. Our IT people have the server locked down while we’re in production. I can tell you that it’s in a sidebar, and the width of the box is coming in at 250 pixels. I’ve upped it to 350 in Firebug and it makes no difference. The code that’s being produced is as follows:

  <li class="slide" data-thumb="http://library.curtis.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/37_312-Gary-Graffman-and-Isabelle-Vengerova-245x300.jpg" style="width: 100%; float: left; margin-right: -100%; position: relative; display: none;">
<div class="layout-text-bottom overlay-none">

<div class="slide-excerpt">
<h2 class="slide-title">
New posting
</h2>
</div>
</div>


  You can see that the slide excerpt class is producing only the title – there’s no other text coming through.

  The excerpt isn’t being output a reason then, this is likely the standard functionality of the WooSlider shortcode, and not something we control.
