Really looking for a fix for this. If I choose not to have any sharing buttons with excerpts, I just don’t get any excerpt text at all, just a featured image and no text at all. We really need a solution for this. * Thread Starter [Xavier Gimeno Torrent](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xaviergimeno/) * (@xaviergimeno) * [10 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/characters-2/#post-5922821) * You are losing so many users taking so long to launch the new version of the plugin.
