Excerpt length not respected

    Hi,

    I have the following shortcode enabled:

    
[netsposts thumbnail='true' order_post_by='date_order desc' list='3' taxonomy_type='category' taxonomy='blog' size='thumnail-size' read_more_text='Lees meer' date_format='j F, Y' excerpt_length='50']

    However, I noticed the excerpt length is not respected in different blog posts causing unaligned posts.

    Try adding auto_excerpt='true'

    Hi,

    I don’t see any difference.

    Current used shortcode:

    [netsposts thumbnail='true' order_post_by='date_order desc' list='3' taxonomy_type='category' taxonomy='blog' size='thumnail-size' read_more_text='Lees meer' date_format='j F, Y' excerpt_length='65' auto_excerpt='true']

    Okay first of all let me start off by apologizing about the excerpt lengths. I have wrong information. I changed it a while ago but somehow didn’t update the readme.txt file. So here it is:

    excerpt_length is the length in words. That is if excerpt_length='65' like you have above then it will list 65 words.

    excerpt_letters_length is the length in characters. So try changing it to excerpt_letters_length='65' and you should see a difference.

    If this doesn’t work I’ll gave to look further.

    Hi johnzenausa,

    No need to apologize, I’m very grateful for the support.

    It seems the excerpt_letters_length is also not working properly for me.

    I’m now using the following shortcode:

    [netsposts thumbnail='true' order_post_by='date_order desc' list='3' taxonomy_type='category' taxonomy='blog' size='thumnail-size' read_more_text='Lees meer' date_format='j F, Y'  excerpt_letters_length='550']

    But my first blog posts still seems to be unaligned with the other blog posts:

    I don’t see the argument auto_excerpt='true' in the last shortcode.

    If you’re using the manual excerpt field instead use the following two arguments:

    manual_excerpt_letters_length= or manual_excerpt_length=

    Hi,

    I’m using auto_excerpt now, same result.

    Used shortcode:

    [netsposts thumbnail='true' order_post_by='date_order desc' list='3' taxonomy_type='category' taxonomy='blog' size='thumnail-size' read_more_text='Lees meer' date_format='j F, Y' auto_excerpt='true' excerpt_letters_length='550']

    I see the problem. The maximum excerpt letters length is 500. That’s why 550 is showing now difference. As you can see in the image below is that when it’s changed to 200 it works.

    Hi johnzenausa,

    I could not view your file on google drive – I’ve requested access now.
    Note that the issue is not fixed when using 200 instead of 550:

    Have a look:

    I’ve painted a red square on the screenshot to highlight the misalignment.
