Excerpt without the subtitle of the post

    My posts begin with subtitles (<h2> and <h3>), and sometimes there is also a short code. These contents are not relevant for the excerpt in the carousel. How would it be possible not to display them in the generated excerpt?

    It seems to me the use of the “strip-shortcodes” function would solve a part of the problem (in your PHP code, file ig-posts-carousel-widget.php).

    <?php 
    if ($show_excerpt) {
    echo '<p class="excerpt">';
//      if ( has_excerpt() ) { the_excerpt(); } else { echo wp_trim_words( get_the_content(), 20, '...' ); }
        if ( has_excerpt() ) { the_excerpt(); } else { echo strip_shortcodes(wp_trim_words( get_the_content(), 20, '...' )); }
    }
   echo '</p>';
?>

    The carousel shows the excerpt not the content

    Your PHP code leads me think that you show an excerpt if it exists, otherwise you show content.

    if ( has_excerpt() ) { the_excerpt(); } else { echo wp_trim_words( get_the_content(), 20, '...' ); }

    I suggest the following change in order to show content without shortcode.

    if ( has_excerpt() ) { the_excerpt(); } else { echo strip_shortcodes(wp_trim_words( get_the_content(), 20, '...' )); }

    (in ig-posts-carousel-widget.php)
