BROKEN – Episode Description from Post Content

Howdy.

Just upgraded to WP 5.8 and SSP 2.7.3.

Episode Description from Post Content now yields blank episode description in feed.

I switched to Episode Description from Post Excerpt, and that works fine.

I switched back and forth a couple of times–same result.

Please advise. Thanks!

Hi there,

Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention.

Are you using Gutenberg or the block editor? If you are, could you tell us what blocks you’re using?

Thanks and have a good day.

Thanks for the fast response.

If you meant am I using the Gutenberg block editor or classic editor, I’m using Gutenberg, but I only have a single HTML block on each episode.

I am using the HTML block to overcome issues with the feed in previous versions of SSP. I previously started another thread on this here.

Here is an example of the HTML I am using. Aside from the page title and excerpt, this is all that I have on each Podcast episode.
