Thanks, Ajay.

Yes, the theme displays the excerpts. The filters did the trick.

Thank you so much!

Sorry Eliot, maybe I wasn’t clear.

I’m trying to use shortcodes in the actual manual excerpt (not in the section before the <!–more–> – I don’t use such sections).

I can easily get the links and information if I include the shortcodes in a post, but when they are in the separate “Excerpt” (hand-crafted summaries) input box, they just display on the page as shortcodes, not as links (or whatever) as interpreted by your plugin.

Can it be made to work in the manual excerpt?

For the record, YARPP stopped delivering related posts for me recently on https://www.intmath.com/blog/. I also got the message that wp_posts was using the “1” engine, when in fact it was using MyISAM all along.

Based on MusicalJournal’s experience, I attempted to delete YARPP (using “select” and “bulk action -> delete” as there is no “delete” option for YARPP on the plugins page in WP).

Well, the delete failed (YARPP is still there), but now it works fine. I didn’t delete entries in the wp_options table.

Mitcho – that may give you a clue as to what is going on?

Thanks for replying. No – I’m adding it to single.php, just below where the posts finish (end of #post div).

I have done the same sort of thing in the header.php and sidebar.php files with no problems. The HTML output is as expected for those 2 cases.

But for single.php only, the HTML output is long lines where it seems the “\n” (unseen) line breaks (in the php file) have been deleted somewhere. The Google code breaks if it is on one line – it needs to be on separate lines after each “;”.

My theme is based on Blue21, which is fairly conventional.

I know I can add Google code into posts using a plugin, but I prefer to add it myself.
