    Genesis Feature Page - In the text on this page http://deck.sohtest2.com/about-2/ I have text that is using Stong. When you look at the text in the widget on the Home Page http://deck.sohtest2.com the text formatting is stripped out. How can I prevent this from happening?

    Brad,
    The widget uses the first 'x' characters of the post. It does not use the excerpt. Any solution for that?

    Brad,
    This says that it has the option to use the excerpt. I will try this one. But still would be nice to use the content and not have to copy text into the excerpt!

    Brad, Genesis Featured Page Advanced worked with the excerpt. https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-featured-page-advanced

    Probably has the code built in. You could easily build into your own custom featured page widget.
