I have had a quick look at your site and I don’t see the usual suspect. Generally, when users complain to me about problem similar to yours, they have single paragraph long post or using <b> in place of <p> tags in post that don’t tease. However, looking at the HTML source of your home page, the paragraphing is not the cause.

The only way to turn off teasing for certain post on the homepage, one must be very explicit in setting the flag in the post-meta data and not likely to have been set by accident. The fact that you have ask rules that one out.

The only other thing may be that you are doing something out of the ordinary in your template. Please change the template to the default WordPress template and let me know if the same problem exists. If the problem goes away, it would mean you need to have a look at your template and see if there is anything that can cause this behavior.

The other test is to turn off other plugins one by one until the problems goes away or Post Teaser is the only plugin activated. If by turning off another plugin restore Post Teaser, then there is a conflict between the two plugin. If this is the case, please report back so I can have a look at why there is a conflict.

Other then that, can you give me more specifics about your WordPress version, a full list of active plugins?

Your comment was hidden in the spam box for a couple of days.

Anyway, to install Post Teaser, you need to place the post-teaser.php file directly in the plugin folder. As you have experience, placing post-teaser.php in a subfolder off the plugin folder will cause an error.

As for why “post teaser” option disappear from the option menu after placing the post-teaser.php in the right folder is kind of strange. I’ve not heard any complains about this obviously.

One thing to check is the file permission. The very minimum is to have read permission set for everyone. If things seem to be right, then try re-extracting post-teaser.php again and upload to the plugin folder to see if that works.

If you are still facing the same problem, do contact me via the “Contact Me” form accessible from the tabs under the header of this page.

I’m trying to follow your instructions for using this plugin on my site but am running into issues.
when the php file is in it’s own folder under the plugins folder it is visible in the options tab. Problem is that the php file won’t load. If I try to run it manually it points to a problem on line 51 or 52.

Then when I remover the php file and place it directly in the plugins folder (out of its own folder) “post teaser” disappears from the option tab.

Is there something I’m missing? can you please help?

-Thanks in advance,

Glad to hear from fan now and then.

I’ll do my best not to disappoint.

Anyway, if you just describe the symptom and also which version of WP you are running, I could spot the problem.

Please do let me know what you have found out.

I’m horned that you chose Post Teaser.

If you find one that works well with Post Teaser, please report back here. I’ll try to maintain a list of plugins the works and doesn’t work with Post Teaser.

Thanks.

Post Teaser does not do anything out side of the main post. The problem is with the Sociable plugin.

The way Sociable plugin works is to embed the image in the main post. If you study the html code, you will find that the img tag is part of the main post. There is no easy way to for Post Teaser to tell if an img tag is for a real picture or not when the img tag is in the main post.

I am sure I could add exception to the counting functions but that would mean I need to add the same exception to every request that comes in. It would be a mess and not to mention these exceptions will cause the blog to appear slower due to the extra processing.

If you have any suggestion, I could consider as long as it is not a hack.
