Captions appearing in excerpts

  • This issue has been happening since before the upgrade to 4.0, FYI. Everything is working perfectly except that image captions are still showing in the RSS excerpts despite selecting the option to strip shortcodes. The plugin is up to date.

    Really hoping you can help me figure this one out, this plugin would be a godsend for me if I can get it to work properly!

  • I am having this same issue.

    Great plugin!

    Under Settings and the “Remove all tags except the following”.
    Can I add a tag to the list that I DO want stripped out?

    What I did:
    1. I selected “caption” from the bottom dropdown and it was added to the tags to be NOT stripped out. So it then automatically adds the tag to the list with a checkmark. (Meaning it should be added as a tag that is NOT stripped out.)
    2. Because I DO want the caption tag stripped out I unchecked the box.
    3. Then I selected “Save Changes”
    4. The tag then completely disappears.

    I would like the ability to add tags to the list that I DO want stripped out. Is this possible?

    bmohr,

    I actually tried that myself a few weeks ago. Seems like a good idea, doesn’t it? Alas, it doesn’t work, captions remain in the RSS feed even with the word caption added and unchecked.

    I hope we get a fix to this soon!

    Has there been any progress on this?

    I tried the fix listed by bmohr. My problem is that the settings do not save properly when I hit “Save Changes”. Could this be a permissions issue on the server?

    Version 3.2.2 works fine but 3.2.3 gives me photo captions within my excerpts.

    this is a real nightmare can you please release a fix ?

    The strange thing about this is that the author created a development version which has a fix for the captions issue:

    You can still download htat development version of the plugin here: https://github.com/deliciousbrains/wp-advanced-excerpt/archive/master.zip

    However, that version never seemed to make it into the official plugin. I’m not sure why.

    For me, this means I have never been able to upgrade from version 4.1.1, which is still working fine. I have tried out the latest version on my test server, and it causes issues (not just the captions issue but other quirks), so I am sticking with 4.1.1.

    There are other plugins you can get to stop WP bugging you to update.

    By the way Chris, I’m not sure if you’re still reading these messages, but if you are, I’ll be happy to give you access to my test server if you want to test.
