Wrong excerpt displaying | WordPress.org

Website I’m working on is http://wnmufm.org

I just downloaded and installed this plugin. I added the following code to the home page:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[promoslider width="589px" height="260px" numberposts="5" time_delay="10" display_title="none" display_nav="thumb" display_excerpt="excerpt"]') ?>

I made a few new promotion posts and they all display fine, except the wrong excerpt is displaying. Instead of showing the excerpt I made for each post, it is displaying the text from the post itself instead.

How can I fix this?

I would have to take a look on the backend of the site to see what is going on, but sometimes themes use filters to alter the excerpt and how it is handled. I am not sure, but this could be the case here.

I just went through the Theme Functions file in the editor and indeed there was a custom excerpt filter that was set up to display the first 150 words of a post instead of the excerpt box. I removed it and now it works great. Thanks!
