Hello @dancingbear1965

Can you confirm, do you want the test of the menu items to be read out when a user hovers over them with a mouse, or do you want to make sure that the menus are accessible, and that screen readers can access their content correctly?

Hello @onsensuki94

The first thing you could try is to test if the get_the_excerpt function is able to generate the excerpt on that specific post.

Do you have a way to run arbitrary PHP code on your WordPress site, maybe in a custom plugin or a child theme functions.php?

If you do, please try to run the following PHP code, replacing the number 1 with the post ID of that post, and see what is output.

echo get_the_excerpt(1);

Hello @vi54

Are you using the block editor or the classic editor?

I just tested this out in the block editor in a post, and when I added an empty paragraph, the opening <p> and closing </p> tags were present in my RSS feed.

If you are using the block editor, is there something else that is possibly processing your post content, and causing this error?

Hello @jorgensenson23

You mentioned you are with Bluehost, are you able to use a Bluehost staging environment to make a copy of the site, and then downgrade the staging site’s WordPress version to 6.3 or the latest 6.2 (which would be 6.2.2) to see if it reverts the issues.

If it does, do you have any custom plugins or custom code in a theme that might be breaking due to the upgrade? I know that 6.3 included quite a few changes, so if any plugins or a theme were not updated, it could cause this.

Hi @bobstayton

I’m not aware of any tool that does this, but if you have access to your database, you could run a SQL query on the posts table to search the post_content field for your synced block.

The first step would be to get the code for the synced block. So for example created a synced block in a post with some text and an image, then I switched to the code editor view and the code for the synced block looked something like this

<!-- wp:block {"ref":77} /-->

Then, in my database tool (I use phpmyadmin) I can run the following query on the wp_posts table

SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_content LIKE '%<!-- wp:block {\"ref\":77} /-->%'

Note the backslashes before the ” characters, this is required to escape the quotes.

This query returns a result of all the records (posts, pages, templates) that include the synced pattern code.

Hello @topedan

Is the /wp/v2/sites endpoint something that is added to WordPress by a theme or plugin? I’m not aware of a sites endpoint, and I don’t see one in the WP REST API reference of core endpoints.

Hi @mondayzpl

You mentioned that this happens on both product and news custom post types. Do you have any background processes that run (something automated or using WP Cron) that could cause this?
