# List items not readable?

 * I use mainly the lists block but I noticed the system doesn’t “read them”. I 
   mean, if I only add list blocks with many text, the automatic generated extract
   of the post is blank, so WP doesn’t recognize the text.
    I don’t have problem
   in that case because I can write the extract manually, but my concern is that
   Google search also doesn’t recognize any text or thinks there isn’t any text 
   written on that posts and penalizes it. Any info? Thanks

 * Hi [@pre20](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pre20/),
    are you using the Advanced
   List block? May you explain more your situation.

 * Yes, the Advanced List block. It works well, the thing is that I wrote a post
   using that list with some images and noticed the extract of the post that WP 
   automatically generates was blank on the home page. So WP doesn’t recognize the
   text from that block as an standard paragraph text? So maybe search engines also
   doesn’t recognize it, so I’ll need to stop using that block because all the text
   of the post is on lists.

 * > the extract of the post
 * How is the extract generated? By WP core, the theme or through another plugin?
   I need more details on this.

 * WP uses the first 55 words of the post, and the list is located the first: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/excerpt/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/excerpt/)
 * But anyway I see it happens on other plugins too so I will use an standard list
   and create another topic with some suggestions.
