Thanks for the quick reply. Can this be done is advanced cos?

I know there was an api change that facebook implemented and plugins like this need updated in order to work properly.

Thank you so very much. It works perfectly.

I just did what I said in the above post and it does work around the issue. It’s a bit more work but worth it..

Thanks for your help…. ?

No problem. I actually do most of my writing from the WordPress app and include a custom excerpt. I’m not sure if I’ve added the gallery via the browser, saved it as a draft and added the excerpt from the app before publishing it.

That might be a workaround….. Either way, the text is not appearing on the excerpts when they appear on Facebook for example. Just on the site… I’m going to edit a post from the app, add an excerpt and update the post to see if that fixes it.

I think it’s just the way the excerpts are generated. It only happens when a gallery is embedded and I’ve killed all plugins except the basic and it doesn’t fix it. I couldn’t get excerpts to display on the default wordpress themes but I did try graphene and it did the same thing.

The weird thing is that the extra text doesn’t appear on the excerpt when it’s shared to social media.

For now I just removed excerpts… Thank you

Here’s a screenshot.. This only happens in the excerpt..
