Series meta information being displayed twice only on the series archive pages

  • This is just a small aesthetic problem, but when I click a series in the series widget to go to that series’ archive page (the page where it lists all the posts from that series together), it displays the series meta information twice.

    So for example, it will say at the top of each post in the series (but with the respective name and numbers for each post):

    This entry is part 1 of 5 in the series…
    This entry is part 1 of 5 in the series…

    When clicking to go into an individual post, it still properly displays the meta information only once.

    Disabling the series meta information removes all traces of it both from the series archive page and the individual posts.

    I can’t remember, but I may have noticed this problem a long time ago as well. I can’t say for sure though if this only started at a certain time or not.

    Any thoughts? Thanks.

  • I can confirm this behavior. By default, the “Series Meta” text — not “Series Meta (with excerpts)” — in settings looks like this:

    <div class="seriesmeta">This entry is part %series_part% of %total_posts_in_series% in the series %series_title_linked%</div>%postcontent%

    If you remove the contents of the “Series Meta” box, the “This entry…” text will still be displayed above each summary in the series list page, but the “This entry…” text will be gone when you are viewing individual messages. This might be an acceptable workaround.

    It looks like the contents of the <div class="seriesmeta">...</div> element is being stripped of its tags and prepended to the text of the summary.

    I, too, am experiencing this. Does anyone have a fix?
