 * I have a problem.
    I use the tag in my articles and on the index.php (mainloop)
   the the_advanced_excerpt displayed correctly, but when I use a loop for a category,
   then this does not. Does anyone have a tip for me? Main Loop> More attacks days
   Loop other side> More days will be ignored and it will be reduced only after 
   x characters
 * **Example:**
    The fourth part of our goal kick tips explains how the player abilities“
   Weaker foot accuracy” and “Weaker foot frequency” influence goal kicks.
 * Only a few footballers can shoot equally well with both feet. PES 2012 reflects
   this by assigning each virtual athlete a “stronger foot” for achieving the best…

 * **Cat-Page** – the same article but not with the more-tag, now using the word-
   excerpt… and i don’t know why

 * There are two template functions that interact with the plugin. The first is 
   the one you mentioned, `the_advanced_excerpt` (which is provided by the plugin)
   and the other one is `the_excerpt` (standard template tag).
 * The first one allows you to configure the excerpt from your theme’s code. The
   other one behaves according to the plugin’s default settings, which can be changed
   in the admin area of WordPress.
 * I am assuming that your category page is using `the_excerpt` to render excerpts
   the default way, whereas your other loop uses `the_advanced_excerpt` with the
   settings you want.

 * Hi Basvd,
    thank u for the answer, but i don’t know how it’s help … i create 
   2 pages… first page is the loop-page and the other page is my multi-cat-loop-
   page.
 * In two pages, I do exactly the same, just let me run longer on the other side
   of the word count. But only if the loop is the multi-page “the_advanced_excerpt”
   do not display correctly or does not intersect with the text in the More Markers.
   I know the other version but I do not use it. I am happy to complete both pages
   templates to dispose if it helps. But the section I used templates for the two
   times I post below.
 * looppage (index):
 *     ```
       <?php if(function_exists('the_advanced_excerpt')) : ?>
       <?php the_advanced_excerpt('read_more=Read more&exclude_tags=img,a&length=50&use_words=1'); ?>
       <p class="more"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">Read more</a></p>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * multi-cat-loop-page:
 *     ```
       <?php if(function_exists('the_advanced_excerpt')) : ?>
       <?php the_advanced_excerpt('read_more=Read more&exclude_tags=img,a&length=60&use_words=1'); ?>
       <p class="more"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">Read more</a></p>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * Thanks for the help. Marc
