Yudhistira Mauris on "[Plugin: Easy Post Series] Series box on excerpts for other posts"

Sorry to bother you again but I came across another minor issue. It's not likely to be a common problem because I don't see this often used in other themes. Still, I thought you might like to know about it.

Instead of the regular "Next post/previous post" navigation on my single.php template, I've included the post thumbnail and an excerpt for each next/previous post. (See the bottom of this post for an example.)

The issue is that if the post you're currently looking at belongs to a series, the series box is duplicated onto the excerpt for the next/previous posts. I've hid it with CSS but it's still there in the code. I took a look at your plugin code and I didn't see a reference to the_excerpt() so I'm not sure how it's getting added in.

The code I'm using for the excerpt looks something like this:
<?php setup_postdata( $nextPost ); the_excerpt(); wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

The full code for this custom navigation can be seen here.

The post navigation is added to a post via the_content filter hook. the_excerpt() function might pull the navigation from that hook. You may try to customize my plugin by adding a priority number to the function that is attached to the_content hook. The function is located in setup_hooks function. Something like this:

add_filter( 'the_content', array( $this, 'series_post_navigation' ), 99 );

Let me know if it works.

Nope, the series box is still there.

Hi faeldray,

Have you updated the plugin to the version 1.1.2? Does it fix the problem?
