re: Disabling the excerpt with shortcode excerpt_length=0 brings back the formatting. Is there anyway to keep using an excerpt but have that excerpt be formatted?

Right, the excerpt is created by using the wp_trim_words() function which strips formatting when it creates excerpts.

I do have a far more advanced excerpt creation function now which will preserve formatting. I can release an update next week with this tweak.

Alternatively, you can hide the excerpt by using CSS if you wish. Add teh following to the theme’s custom CSS area:

#cn-circled .cn-circled-excerpt {
    display: none;
}

Hope that helps!
