[Support request] Blog Excerpt Not Working on First Post

[Paul]

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?

[Paul]

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!

[David]

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

[Paul]

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.

[David]

You’re welcome, i will mention it to Tom in case there is some random bug he is aware of.

[Paul]

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.

[David]

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?

[Paul]

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.

[Tom]

That would be great! Feel free to send them through our form here: https://generatepress.com/contact

Just be sure to mention this topic 🙂
