Blog Excerpt Not Working on First Post
10 replies · Started by Paul on July 12, 2018
Hi,
Here's a link to the "News" category page on a dev site we have just started building - http://fivestarfiller.smartdigital.xyz/index.php/category/news/
You will see that the first post shows the entire content not an excerpt and I cannot figure out why or how to change it, any help would be appreciated.
We are using Beaver Builder & Themer
TIA,
Paul
Hi Paul
that is odd, what happens if you create a new post ie. more recent then that one? Does the problem persist?
Hi David,
It is very odd, and no I've just created a new post (you can see if you refreash page) and that is fine, that problem post till shows full content!
So the only the difference between that post and the latest post is the Uncategorized category. Just to dimiss that can you create a new post with both the categories? If thats ok then we could assume its just that post is weird lol
Just created another with both categories and all seems okay.
Strange one, I'll just delete that other post and pretend it never happened LOL!
Thanks for your help David.
You're welcome, i will mention it to Tom in case there is some random bug he is aware of.
Do you want me to keep it on the site for the minute just incase Tom needs to look. I won't need to delete it until tomorrow if that helps! And if you need any temporary login etc. please just ask.
Perfect, if you wouldn't mind. I have assigned the topic to Tom, lets see if he can answer this one!
Interesting, it's using the .entry-summary class, but it's showing full HTML.
Any custom functions on the site?
Hi Tom,
No custom functions yet.
We're using GP with Beaver Builder, Themer and a few other related plugins. The posts were generated using Fakerpress! And we're on Cloudways hosting.
More than happy to give you access if you think it will help.
That would be great! Feel free to send them through our form here: https://generatepress.com/contact
Just be sure to mention this topic :)
