Should I fix plugin code after each upgrade?

The problem is still persist in 1.2.8.3

Why don’t you use wp_trim_excerpt() function or something similar?

Please…

wordpress-seo/inc/wpseo-functions.php, line 156

v 1.2.5:

'%%excerpt%%' => ( !empty( $r->post_excerpt ) ) ? strip_tags( $r->post_excerpt ) : substr( strip_shortcodes( strip_tags( $r->post_content ) ), 0, 155 ),

v 1.2.7:

'%%excerpt%%' => ( !empty( $r->post_excerpt ) ) ? strip_tags( $r->post_excerpt ) : utf8_encode( substr( strip_shortcodes( strip_tags( utf8_decode( $r->post_content ) ) ), 0, 155 ) ),

I don’t think it’s database issue

Hello!

In the backend I have the following template for Meta Description fileld: %%excerpt%%

With WordPress SEO plugin version 1.2.5 I have the following meta value:
<meta name="description" content="Не знаю, для кого как, а для меня культура - когда соседи мусор в окна не выкидывают."/>

With upgrade to version 1.2.7 I got the following:
<meta name="description" content="?? ????, ??? ???? ???, ? ??? ???? ???????? - ????? ?????? ????? ? ???? ?? ??????????. ?????? ???????? ?????????? ?? ?????? ????."/>

I have some other plugins installed, but in this case the only difference is WordPress SEO version. I’ve checked the problem several times and it persists.

Added toolbar button for editors

Added check for installed PHP modules on startup. Probably one of them was missing.
