   <?php
   require('/<em>path</em>/wp-blog-header.php');
   ?>
   
    <?php
    $posts = get_posts('numberposts=5');
    foreach($posts as $post) :
    ?>
   <p><strong><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> </strong></p>
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>

   I am using this code to get the latest 5 posts from a blog along with the excerpts from a blog.

   After upgrading to 2.1.1 I just get post link in the output not the excerpts. Any ideas?

   I believe your are missing a bit of code in your setup for the main loop.

   <?php foreach( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>

   You need to add setup_postdata($post) to your loop.

   Then your exerpt should work as you have it:

   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
