Excerpt macro in blog post doesn't work properly

Habib_zgbrcp

Hi,

We're publishing blog posts on our space, and we want to include excerpts of them on our main page.

For each blog post we used the "Excerpt" macro, and then we configured the "Blog Posts" macro on "excerpts", however, we did not have the intended result

Is this a bug? Maybe related to CONFSERVER-54223

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the community!

What is your intended result by the way?

Habib_zgbrcp

Hi Greg, thank you for your reply.

My intended result would to display what inside the Excerpt macro "This is the test excerpt" in the main page. Currently, the Excerpt macro is ignored, and the "Blog post" macro displays the first few lines of text

Oh, I see.

Have you added the "Excerpt Include" macro to the main page?

Habib_zgbrcp

No, I used the "Blog post" macro with the excerpt option (as documented in https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/blog-posts-macro-139470.html)

I tested the "Excerpt include" macro in the main page, it worked as expected, but we'd rather prefer the display of the "Blog Post" macro (which is supposed to display excerpts).

I'm having the same problem as Habib, also in a cloud environment.

I have used the Excerpt macro in several blog posts. But this seems to be ignored by the Blog Posts macro elsewhere in the space. It includes much more text than is in my Excerpt.

If I use the Include Excerpt macro, the excerpt appears as I would expect. But I don't want to have to manually update the page each time a blog post is published.
