   are you referring to the `[...]` ?
 * That is defined as the default string to be printed at the end of an excerpt.
   There are many ways to change the length of excerpts and also how to modify that
   output.
 * If you haven’t already look at the third note on the wp codex page for [the_excerpt](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/the_excerpt/)

 * Glad that helped [@siyabongamajola](https://wordpress.org/support/users/siyabongamajola/),
   Just a heads up [@northernbeacheswebsites](https://wordpress.org/support/users/northernbeacheswebsites/)
   rolled that change into the latest version so you shouldn’t need to bootleg it.
 * If you have Version 7.10 you should be good.
 * Have a good day!

 * Hi [@northernbeacheswebsites](https://wordpress.org/support/users/northernbeacheswebsites/),
   
   I had the same issue with my published articles. I narrowed down the issue to
   pulling the excerpt via get_the_excerpt without decoding the `', "` character
   entities. I added the code below in the wp-linkedin-auto-publish.php line 657.
 *     ```
       "post_excerpt"=>html_entity_decode( get_the_excerpt($postId), ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8' ),
       ```
   
 * After adding this in all the special characters were decoded and posted correctly
   on LinkedIn.
 * I hope this helps!

   working.
