    Reduce character limit in "Recent Articles" widget

    I am looking to reduce the character limit in "Recent Articles" widget - I have done it before with FilmmakerForum but for some reason I cannot remember where it is. I am currently running 4.2.2 - surely I must be just missing the option...?

      Thanks for the fast reply Lynne, it means alot! For some reason that is also effecting my article preview, so I attempted a linebreak then that effected my widget's preview text for that article. As seen here, I can have a linebreak for article preview and not effect recent articles. http://www.filmmakerforum.org/content/
      So recap, filmmakerforum is working just fine, but my test site I am working on is not.

        Is this a 4.2.2 issue?

          It seems like the preview length is used in several places for several previews- my guess is why it isn't showing up on some articles is the cache needs to be cleared to see it take effect.
