Plugin “overrides” autogenerated post excerpts

  • Hi there –

    I love this plugin, except the first N lines of the excerpt for every post I make when I enable the plugin contains a compressed version of the series summary instead of the first N lines of the actual post text. This makes it so that (in my theme) the “excerpt text” for each of my posts is pretty boring (it’s the post series) instead of the first paragraph of my post. On my homepage, this means that every post displays as a title followed by a compressed version of the series text.

    Is there a way to suppress this? Even if I move the post series block to the bottom of the page, the excerpt still autogenerates with this text. If, instead I use a manual excerpt this fixes the problem, but is cumbersome to write an excerpt for each page.

    Example follows (from main page):
