to rule out ant plugin/theme specific issue, have you tried:
– Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches. Also, any op cache or content network cache, as well as Cloudflare, clear those caches.
– deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
– switching to the unedited default Twenty Fifteen theme for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
Try to clear catch of your browser and disable plugin one by one to see if there’s conflict with any plugin
This sounds like your theme may need an update. Have you checked with your theme’s author to be sure it’s compatible with 4.3?
I think it is because the new version of WordPress now thinks characters are words. So, if your theme is/was set to truncate the post summary at 600 characters it is now showing 600 words. I had this problem with my site and I went and looked for the following in my theme:
php truncate_post(100);
The original coding was 600 and I changed that to 100 and now everything works.
You’ll have to search your theme coding for the exact files containing the code.
