 * Have latest version installed 4.9.9 and have site to automatically update it 
   to latest version, so not exactly sure when this issue first arose. I use the
   Posts Shortcode on my Homepage to display the latest 2 posts, using the post 
   excerpt (created using Easy Custom Auto Excerpt plugin). The default-loop.php
   Template is being used. When creating the Shortcode and I click the Live Preview
   Button to view it, it looks fine i.e. thumbnail, Title and brief summary. However,
   when I insert it onto the page then view it live on the site, it is displaying
   the whole posts. Hope you can help.
