Same thing was happening to one of my 3.7.1 sites.
'hierarchical' => false was the fix after resaving my permalink structure.
I was looking for this issue under just 404 permalink custom post type and it didn’t come up. However once I added 3.7.1 then I saw others with issues.
Thank you for helping us solve this bug.
Cleaner solution.
Add this to your functions.php
function fix_social_excerpts($content){
$content = str_ireplace('tweet','',$content);
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'fix_social_excerpts');
@clairepoulton, I was having the same issues.
I have now been able to fix the problem with both Thematic and my own child theme options page.
Is there anyway of seeing your theme-options.php or options.php file you have created for your child theme so I can check the code?
