 * Hello,
 * Recent posts block is not loading posts excerpts. I selected options: Display
   Featured Image: off, Display Post Author: off, Display Read More Link: on, Display
   Post Excerpt: on, First Post text as Excerpt: on, Post Text Excerpt length: 150.
   When editing I see excepts but not on the page.
    Wordpress version 5.1.1. I’m
   using Twenty Thirteen child theme, but the same behavior is on Twenty Nineteen.
 * PS. <div class=”advgb-post-excerpt”></div> is empty.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for contacting us about Advanced Gutenberg.
    The content returned seems
   to be empty indeed. Can you share me a page link with that Gutenberg recent post
   block inserted please?

 * Hi,
 * Can you let me know with what tool are you editing your post, is it the default
   WordPress classic editor, Gutenberg or something else?
 * It seems your first text is not detected.

 * Hi,
 * I’m using default Gutenberg editor. Excerpts generated from content are visible
   in editing mode as you can see on the screenshot.

 * Hi,
 * I think I found the bug. The line in file `/assets/blocks/recent-posts/block.
   php` removes all the content.
 * `$postContent = preg_replace('/<!--(.*)-->/is', '', $postContent);`
 * Is it neccessary?

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the feedback.
 * This is not mandatory but help to remove extra content.
    You can replace it by`
   $postContent = preg_replace('/<!--(.*?)-->/is', '', $postContent);`
 * This should fix the issue.
    We’ll provide a version with this fix as soon as 
   possible.
 * Cheers
