Excerpts not working correctly

[jbryant]

I added 77 restaurants to my review and they show up right on the post page but the excerpts on my category page are not working correctly. Here's the link: http://www.sylvalive.com/category/restaurants

I am also a little confused about the templating system. I can't get mine to do exactly what I want. Can you post a couple of examples of the output template and it's results?

Thanks for two great plugins!

The http://www.sylvalive.com/category/restaurants is an issue with the theme you are using. I will post more info about the template system shortly.

Read this:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt


Check your theme. This could should be in index.php, but you could also have page.php and single.php.

Pay attention to this:
<?php if ( is_category() || is_archive() ) {
the_excerpt();
} else {
the_content();
} ?>

Here is a fuller example of the templating system with PP: http://www.reviewpluginforwordpress.com/support/showthread.php?t=531

After hours of importing and deleting, importing and deleting I have determined that my excerpts do work but only if I import the listing and then edit it. Craziest thing....I don't even have to change anything when I edit. I just go to the listing, hit the edit button and then hit the publish button and the excerpt is working fine.

Here is a link that will show you normal excepts and featured excerpts that are working and some that aren't.

Please help me figure this out so I can finally move on.
:eek:


Here is a copy of template I am using:


<table width=100%">
<tr>
<td width="60%"><img src="[Image]"width="400"></td>
<td width="40%">
<b>Name:</b> [Item Name]
<b>Address:</b> [Address]
<b>Telephone</b> :[Telephone]
<b>E-mail:</b> [E-mail]
<b>Denomination:</b> [Denomination]
<b>Services:</b> [Services]
<b>Description:</b> [Description]
<b>Additional Information:</b> [Additional Information]

</td>
</tr>
<tr width="100%" >
<td colspan="2" align="center">
<br><br>
<center> [Address] |500|300</center>
<br><br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

This looks like a bug in the software, I will try to fix it tonight. Thank you.

This bug has been fixed in 4.0.3 available for download now. Email support@reviewPluginForWordpress.com if you have any similar issue.

Ok...I upgraded to 4.03 and tried a couple of fresh imports and, unfortunately, I get the same results.

Excerpts are only showing after I import, click edit at bottom of post and then update in the admin panel.

:(

Please send csv to reviewpluginforwordpress.com

[jbryant]

Man, I can't catch a break here. LOL

I do apologize, I did a major upgrade to my website and when I did it fixed the excerpts. I'm not sure how that happened.

Now wfreview 4.03 is not importing at all for me!

This is what my imports are stuck on:
csv-services-sylva.csv [Item Name] 3/23/2010 4:11pm Running... One-time Started at 4:12pm (0 imported) 0.0000 posts per second Cancel job

Anyone else having this issue?

Can you put a link to v4.01 on our member cp? I know that one worked for me but I can't download it.

Thank you in advance for your time.
