I want to include in an email notification the post excerpt – the bit before the <!–more–> line.

The [psppno_post excerpt] looks like what I need, but the result is always blank.

I would appreciate any advice/pointers.

Hi @antipole

Thanks for using our plugin.

I just tested and the shortcode works fine. Can you make sure your excerpt is not empty?

Thanks,

On further checking, I concur that the short-code does include the excerpt if it is explicitly added in the post’s Excerpt box.

I had been assuming that the plugin would follow the WordPress convention whereby, if no explicit excerpt has been created, it would use the first 55 words of the post or up to the <!–more–> tag if present.

Most user-submitted posts do not set an explicit excerpt, so this convention is useful. MailPoet, amongst other plugins, follows it.

Please consider adopting this convention.

Thank you.
