# Excerpt block includes Hidden block content

 * If block(s) are hidden in a Post and the post has no excerpt defined, then a 
   Query loop using the Excerpt block does not ignore the hidden status of the blocks
   in the post.
   I understand there are technical reasons why implementing this would
   be relatively complex, but the documentation should warn non-technical users 
   of this behaviour.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fexcerpt-block-includes-hidden-block-content%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I’m guessing you’re referring to something that this ticket here already covers
   and resolves: [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65456](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65456)
 * According to the information there, the fix will be included in WordPress 7.1.
   Its release is scheduled for August 19. You have the following options:
    - Install the current release candidate for 7.1. The WordPress Beta Tester plugin
      can help with this. I wouldn’t recommend this for production environments.
    - Or install the Gutenberg plugin. That should already include the fix. I wouldn’t
      recommend this for production environments.
    - Or simply wait for the release.
 * You can also test this right now in the Playground. Recreate your scenario there,
   use WordPress 7.1 as the release candidate, and check whether you can reproduce
   the issue. If not, you can be sure that the fix is included in 7.1 and works.
 * If you have any further questions, I’d recommend contacting the Gutenberg team:
