AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Page Excerpt Widget is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Widget category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 6 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Page Excerpt Widget works
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
