Title: Page Excerpt Widget Author: JonathanMH Published: 11 july, 2012 Last modified: 15 jannewaris, 2015 --- Search plugins Dizze plugin **is net hifke mei de lêste 3 grutte releases fan WordPress** . It kin net langer wurde ûnderhâlden of stipe en kin kompatibiliteitsproblemen hawwe as it wurdt brûkt mei resinte ferzjes fan WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/page-excerpt-widget.svg) # Page Excerpt Widget Troch [JonathanMH](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jonathanmh_com/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/page-excerpt-widget.0.4.zip) * [Details](https://fy.wordpress.org/plugins/page-excerpt-widget/#description) * [Resinsjes](https://fy.wordpress.org/plugins/page-excerpt-widget/#reviews) * [Ynstallaasje](https://fy.wordpress.org/plugins/page-excerpt-widget/#installation) * [Ûntwikkeling](https://fy.wordpress.org/plugins/page-excerpt-widget/#developers) [Stypje](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/page-excerpt-widget/) ## Beskriuwing I have created a little WordPress plugin in the shape of a widget, which allows the user to display an excerpt of a page in a sidebar area of their choice. I wrote this to replace a little theme hack I did for a client, where the front page was supposed to have an excerpt of a page on the front page, of course linking to the full page. Instead of keeping it that way and hard coding the page-id, I wanted something where the end user could change which page was supposed to be linked. I hope it will be of use to someone. Right now you can: * Define the amount of characters to use as an excerpt * Select the page from all existing pages * Link the title of the page, to the page * Append a link to the page * Decide a custom label for the read more link * add multiple instances of the widget I plan to increase the functionality with: * some internationalisation ### Suggestions welcome Since this is my first plugin and widget, suggestions, improvements and more are very welcome. I’ve also published the code on github, for easier discussion and improvement. https://github.com/JonathanMH/page-excerpt-widget ## Skermôfbyldings [⌊This shows the widget in the backend and the options the user has.⌉⌊This shows the widget in the backend and the options the user has.⌉[ This shows the widget in the backend and the options the user has.
