%Excerpt% Renders on Mastodon as “Excerpt”

  • Using:
    Share On Mastodon v.0.17.1

    The ‘shortcode’ of %excerpt% outputs on Mastodon as “excerpt“. All other shortcodes work properly. Excerpt does not function as intended.

    Thoughts. Has this been encountered by others preceding me?

    Hi! Can’t say I’m able to reproduce (or have heard this before, but you never know). Did a quick test post (the same as mentioned in the other topic …): https://indieweb.social/@janboddez/111203978096188597.

    The “A couple words …” you see is WordPress’ autogenerated excerpt (and, obviously, the same as the post content minus the images).

    The “template” I used is the following one (hence the quotes around the resulting “title,” etc.), and the “excerpt” seems to get rendered fine:

    @janboddez Thank you for looking into this particular issue. I posted to this forum after persistent issues (during a very long debugging session for possible conflicts with other plugins).

    This particular %excerpt% issue turns out to be a conflict with Seriously Simple Podcasting Plugin.

    When using Share On Mastodon in conjunction with Seriously Simple Podcasting, this conflict can be resolved by setting “Seriously Simple Podcasting Plugin’s Settings to exclude the podcast player from the excerpt.

    This thread can be marked as closed & resolved.

    Cool, thanks for letting me know! Glad it worked out.

    If turns out it isn’t solved after all, “Share on Mastodon” can (but it can be a bit complicated, unfortunately) generate “even smarter” Mastodon statuses. While I can’t account for all other plugins possibly conflicting with this one, there definitely exist possible workarounds …
