Hi there,

I am wondering if you could help me figure out why our Read More button and blog excerpt text are suddenly missing from new posts on both of our websites.

I have not entered custom text in the "Write and excerpt (optional)" of the post editing section.

And also

I have checked under customize > layout > blog and all the settings are same as before: Content type: Excerpt - Word count: 25 - Read more label: Read More.

It is strange that it is suddenly happening on both of our websites when we published our new monthly posts, nd it is also only afecting the new posts.

Thank you in advance

Hi there,

That's because the content of the new post is wrapped in a GB container block.

WordPress still needs to address this issue unfortunately:

Thank for your prompt reply, So I am guessing the solution is to paste the content without a container around it?

Yup that's correct :)
