@colbi and @siyabongamajola are you referring to the [...] ?

That is defined as the default string to be printed at the end of an excerpt. There are many ways to change the length of excerpts and also how to modify that output.

If you haven’t already look at the third note on the wp codex page for the_excerpt

Glad that helped @siyabongamajola , Just a heads up @northernbeacheswebsites rolled that change into the latest version so you shouldn’t need to bootleg it.

If you have Version 7.10 you should be good.

Have a good day!

Hi @northernbeacheswebsites,
I had the same issue with my published articles. I narrowed down the issue to pulling the excerpt via get_the_excerpt without decoding the ', " character entities. I added the code below in the wp-linkedin-auto-publish.php line 657.

"post_excerpt"=>html_entity_decode( get_the_excerpt($postId), ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8' ),

After adding this in all the special characters were decoded and posted correctly on LinkedIn.

I hope this helps!

Thanks for the quick response! Really appreciate the transparency.

I just had the same issue. Had to disable the plugin in order to get back to working.

Yes I was running with WP_DEBUG set to true.
