Show excerpt in Widget

the parameters is not usable in the widget, but it is in the shortcode.

If your theme does apply “do_shortcode” filter on text widgets, you can use it right now !

Hi Bastien,

What I mean was I want to add the excerpt here, see screenshot:

I also created a text widget, but no excerpt display.
[events_list future=1 past=0 nb=10 excerpt=1]

My site: https://www.wintersdrift.com/news/

many thanks

ok, did you try to manually add any content to the excerpt ?

Hi, Not sure what you mean…

I add a few words to the post excerpt area, and then hope for it to display below tthe text widget.

That is why I tried to add this code to the eventpost.php or the widget.php
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

Humm… my bad.
Between 2 edits, I changed the variable from $post->post_excerpt to $post->excerpt.

It will work with version 2.8.6

can you confirm ?
