 * I can add to this that the “summary” (excerpt) **is** printed properly. Though,
   it’s an empty string.
 * I verified this by concatinating in two !! into the echo of it.
 * This leads me to think that there might have something to do with the parameters:
 * `if ( $ppc_excleng && mb_strlen_dh($clanak->post_excerpt) > ($ppc_excleng+1) ){
   $summary = substr_utf8($clanak->post_excerpt, 0, $ppc_excleng)."…"; } 
   else { $summary = $clanak->post_excerpt;}`
 * I would like to know; where does $clanak->post_excerpt come from? Is that a wordpress-
   parameter? ($clanak means “$post” or “$article”, by the way).
