When I use SNAP to send a post to this blog, it also creates a manual excerpt for the post. The manual excerpt contains the same information as the post itself:

<img src ="%IMG%"> %EXCERPT% <a href="%URL%">[link name]</a>.

Is there any way to turn off creation of this manual excerpt? It’s causing problems in the blog feed, because the image then shows in the excerpt on the blog feed.

I’ve gone in and manually removed the image from the excerpt on the attached post because of the issues it caused, but you should be able to see the rest of the code in the excerpt.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks in advance.

I am sorry, but I ma not following you. What is “manual excerpt” and why would SNAP create it?

I don’t know why SNAP would create it, but it does. ??

A manual excerpt is an excerpt that appears in the Excerpt meta box in the wordpress editor, as explained in this article: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-customize-wordpress-excerpts-no-coding-required/

When SNAP sends a post to my destination blog, it adds the html

<img src ="%IMG%"> <%EXCERPT% <a href="%URL%">Read the full post on Dale Cameron Lowry's blog for writers</a>.

both to the visual/text editor in the WordPress Post editor, and also to the Excerpt meta box.

Ideally, excerpts should not have images and usually should not have formatting. This helps to avoid off formatting on the index page of the blog, like in this screenshot:

When the Manual excerpt is deleted (the box is left empty), the blog entry/link on the index page looks more normal, as in this screenshot:

Sorry, but SNAP does not do that. It calls get_the_excerpt(); function internally, but it does not save the result. Most probably your theme or some other plugin is hooked to get_the_excerpt and saves the result.

This only happens when we use SNAP. It doesn’t happen for any other posts. So it’s not the theme doing it, and I’m not sure how any other plugin other than SNAP could be responsible for this.

If it was a plugin other than SNAP, the same thing should happen in posts that are not automated by SNAP as well.
