 * I have used AE for a long, long time, but on the website I am building now, I
   cannot get it to accept the changes I tell it to. IE: Excerpt length, Read More,
   finish sentence. I have tried to find an answer in the forum with no luck. I 
   have just upgraded the plugin but that is not the issue as it was happening before(
   or I was already on the newest version)
 * Any help would be appreciated.
 * The problem is that on one of the pages has a table and AE is pulling the titles
   of the table. I want it to stop at the end of the sentence before the table and
   have tried to set it at a character count as well as the word count option.

 * Are you able to let me know which function you’re using to display the excerpt,
   e.g.
 *     ```
       the_excerpt();
       get_the_excerpt();
       the_advanced_excerpt();
       the_content();
       get_the_content();
       ```

 * Sorry, I should’ve been more specific.
 * What I’m asking is which of the aforementioned functions are you using in your
   theme’s template files to actually output the excerpt?
 * Also, where is this problem occurring? i.e. front page, archive, page, post, 
   rss feed etc

 * Hi
 * I deleted Advanced Excerpt and then cleared the cache and re downloaded it. Things
   seem fine now.
 * Thank you for you time.
