Date does not display on Blog Post macro excerpts.

Question

After upgrading to Confluence 6.6.1, I noticed the date (using //) does not display using the excerpts parameter in the blog post macro.  Date displays properly when viewing the full post.

* Confluence 6.6.1
* Chrome 65.0.3325.146

Can someone please verify in your environment?

Regards - Jonathan

Hi Jon,

I got the same results you report on Confluence 6.6.1:

For details on what the different display options do on the Blog Post Macro, please see: Blog Posts Macro. The Excerpts content type option on the Blog Post macro is meant for use in combination with the Excerpt Macro.

It sounds like you can display the date as desired by choosing "entire" as the Content type to display, so I am not sure how to help.

The support engineer on your support request had a lot of questions to help isolate the issue. I hope when the investigation is complete you will let us know how it was resolved.

Thanks,

Ann
