Issue while importing from site library
9 replies · Started by Vish on July 8, 2019
Hi
I tried to import the Marketer site library theme into a fresh WordPress installation.
It got imported successfully but I do not see the text (excerpt) and read more button in posts on the home page.
Before importing, the text is fine and visible.
I tried this in multiple new WP installation. Still, no luck.
No other plugins are active. No cache or optimization - nothing. Just a fresh WP installation.
Could you please help? Have included the site URL.
Hi there,
Strange.
Is the content type set to Excerpt here?
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/blog-content-layout/#archives
And the excerpt word count is not 0?
Let me know :)
Leo - Big thanks for the quick response :)
Actually, it is the first thing I checked. And no, it is not zero. It is set to 20. And also 'Display read more as button' is also enabled.
I tried to compare the source of my site and gpsites.co/marketer side by side and see the following differences:
In the demo, after the entry-summary class there is <p></p> and read-more-container both are missing in my installation.
In gpsites.co/marketer:
<div class="entry-summary" itemprop="text">
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc imperdiet rhoncus arcu non aliquet. Sed tempor mauris a purus porttitor, … </p>
<p class="read-more-container"><a title="The Fastest WordPress Theme" class="read-more button" href="https://gpsites.co/marketer/2018/09/08/the-fastest-wordpress-theme/#more-21">Read more<span class="screen-reader-text">The Fastest WordPress Theme</span></a></p>
</div>In my site:
<div class="entry-summary" itemprop="text"> </div>
The content is not even coming in the source code at all. I have used marketer several times before without any issues (as recent as a week ago) but now it's just not working.
I'd be happy to share the credentials to the site if you'd like to take a closer look.
Edit: So, I thought my hosting might be an issue. So, I created a dummy sandbox (clean WP install) and installed GP and GP Premium and imported marketer there as well.
The SAME issue there too. Here's the dummy sandbox URL: http://unusual-cow.w6.poopy.life/
Is there something unusual going-on with the SiteLibrary setup?
Hey I just tried importing and the same thing happened to me.
I'm not sure why though but have forwarded to Tom.
He will have a look and get back to you :)
Wonderful thanks. I was breaking my head over this for over 3 hours, trying to figure out the issue.
Actually, most of the site library sites are affected by this bug, if I am not wrong.
Looking forward to the fix!
It looks like the "Excerpt" metabox is being imported with a bunch of empty spaces. If you remove those spaces, it should go back to normal.
I'll fix this issue at our end ASAP.
Thanks!
This should be fixed now. I only found the issue in Marketer - let me know if you ran into the same issues with other sites.
Thank you! Appreciate the heads up :)
Thanks, all good now :)
Thanks for confirming! :)
I am having importing issue in site library which is the "Feather" template layout. The import takes too long
