    How do I go about using Genesis Featured Page and show the excerpt instead of the first 150 characters? I have managed to add excerpts on my pages already. I wouldn't want to use Genesis Featured Amplified because of some styling issues.

    Your help is much appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi there,

    You would have to rewrite the widget as a new plugin or as part of your theme in order to make it use excerpts for Pages.

    I googled it since it was a concern I had for a blogsite and found a way around this using 2 plugins. It is explained in this post:
    https://plus.google.com/112717356760836886583/posts/5PEMrsb5j6M

    Uses the following 2 plugins:

    Page Excerpt: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-excerpt/
    Genesis Featured Widget Amplified: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/genesis-featured-widget-amplified/

    So far, it worked for me. I am using Executve Pro Child Theme

    Hope it helps. 😉

    Saludos, Vicky
