Excerpts no longer showing in email notifications of new posts.
-
I have selected the ‘ excerpt ‘ option rather than the full post in an email notification of a new post. However, despite selecting the ‘excerpt’ option, my entire posts are displayed in email notifications. It never used to be like this, but it changed suddenly last week. How can I change this back so only an excerpt shows? I’ve also noticed the same thing happening in other email notifications from other WordPress bloggers.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Thank you! We’ve got a bug filed and should have a fix soon. For now, feel free to use the More block as a workaround; it’s unaffected by this bug and can be removed after the emails go out:

This workaround, ie. using the More block, doesn’t work. I tried it, but the test email still includes the entire post. I am delaying sending out posts until WP solves this.

Thank you. I can confirm that this problem has now been resolved. However, I did notice that I had to change the settings in my blog back to ‘excerpt.’ But, at least it’s all working again.

Thanks @hughsviewsandnews, it is indeed resolved now.
@nessafrance The “more” setting worked in my testing on multiple sites, but there is the possibility that some other factor on your site stopped it from working. Regardless, it should work well now; as @hughsviewsandnews suggested you might double-check your newsletters > excerpt setting to be sure. Let us know if you need more help.
