0.46.3 (Not 0.46.2) breaks excerpts

I am also having the problem where 4.6.3 does not get the post content if there is no custom excerpt.

Here is my code:
[catlist name=past-event,past-photos numberposts=-1 title_tag=strong excerpt=yes excerpt_size=35 excerpt_strip=no thumbnail=yes thumbnail_size=thumbnail thumbnail_class=alignleft]

Here is the page https://www.lifeisartfest.org/past/

No excerpts shown. None of those posts have custom excerpts, so it should be pulling the first portion of the post.

As always, thanks for the plugin and all the hard work!

Same problem as Ikookmarr … where can I find 0.46.2 so I can revert back please?

Actually it happened to me as well, but I solved the problem adding excerpt_overwrite=yes to the shortcode…. don’t know if it might help in your case though.

I am having the same problem. If it helps I found that excerpt does work with this call: [catlist post_type=encyclopedia, numberposts=6, orderby=date, order=desc, excerpt=yes]
But does not work with this call: [catlist name=volunteer-opportunities, numberposts=12, orderby=date, order=desc, excerpt=yes]
So the bug does not occur when selecting by post_type, but does occur when selecting by name.
As above, thanks for the hard work and a good reliable plugin I use all the time.

I’m really sorry about this issue. This happens because of the lack of tests in my plugin. I’ve created a new release on GitHub:
https://github.com/picandocodigo/List-Category-Posts/releases/tag/v0.46.4
Please test it and let me know if it’s working as expected. Once I have some users test it and make sure it’s working I’ll release version 0.46.4 here for everyone to update.

Thanks in advance!

My next priority for the plugin is writing the tests so this kind of issue doesn’t happen so often.

Dear picandocodigo,

that new releas results in a fatal error when trying to activate it:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare lpc_meta() (previously declared in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/list-category-posts/list_cat_posts.php:131) in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/List-Category-Posts-0.46.4/list_cat_posts.php on line 144

Regards
Christian

Besides that, I have to problem mentioned before with all of the given solutions, no matter if excerpt_overwrite=yes is included, if it is calling a category or by post_type etc.

Christian

I am getting a blank page since updating to 0.46.3

This is my code.

[catlist name=”appetizers” thumbnail=no catlink=”no” numberposts=”-1″ orderby=”title”]

Where can I download 0.46.2???

Thanks

You can download other versions here:

Sorry for the inconvenience, I’ll try to get this fixed tonight!

When using this code:
`[catlist id=387-4 excerpt=yes excerpt_size=75 numberposts=15 pagination=yes orderby=title order=ASC thumbnail=yes thumbnail_class=”alignleft” posts_morelink=”Read post”]

the excerpt length doesn’t change no matter what I set it to (but at least it shows!).

If i set it so the html isn’t stripped from the excerpt, it works just fine.

Thanks for the great plugin!

I just installed 0.46.4 and it fixed the problem of the descriptions not appearing. They are now showing on my site.

0.46.4 still results in a fatal error on my site:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare lpc_meta() (previously declared in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/list-category-posts/list_cat_posts.php:131) in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/List-Category-Posts-0.46.4/list_cat_posts.php on line 144

Cheers

A speedy solution would be highly appreciated!

Thanks a lot
Christian

@picandocodigo

Thank you for providing the link to the previous versions. I have reverted to 0.46.2 and all is back to normal for me … the excerpts have returned and everything is lining up the way it should. I also just wanted to thank you for all the time you are putting into this! It is much appreciated!

Version 0.46.4 from Github fixes problem for me.
Thank you.
