 * Hello,
 * Since the upgrade, the excerpts have changed. Before, it used to pull the excerpt
   that I placed in my themes options. Now, it is pulling the first few words from
   the article itself….
 * I have pictures as the first thing in my articles, so my excerpts are showing
   this stuff.. “[caption id="attachment_7400" align="alignright" width="240"]“
 * Is there a way I can make the excerpt appear like it did in the last release?
 * Thanks

 * Using excerpt will causing some issue, so I decided to switch to display the 
   content. To remove the caption shortcode please read it [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-caption-included](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-caption-included)

 * Hi Satrya,
    I’m experiencing the same issue. Is there a possibility of reverting
   this behavior or giving users the option to use the excerpt instead in a future
   update? The change makes some of our posts look rather ugly, especially press
   releases. (They come up with “For Immediate Release” and the press contact info
   rather than what the post is about.)

 * [@dtelliott86](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dtelliott86/) I will think
   about it, it might be a good option for the next release 😉
