I had topic excerpts working as desired — that is, they observed post_excerpt_maxlength in all cases. I first did this with a plugin (which worked), then learned about SiteSetting.always_include_topic_excerpts = true, so switched to that. Still worked. About two days ago, perhaps after applying 2.4…

[תמונה] louquillio: Not sure if those are official Yes, those are official, but be sure that you’re not using a fork of some sort. Official plugins have a checkmark next to their names in the admin [pluginPage01] and are hosted under https://github.com/discourse/ I just tried both on the …

Adding a post to such a topic doesn’t shorten the excerpt (unsurprising), but editing the first post does cause the excerpt to newly truncate at 50 chars. So while I haven’t looked (Discourse n…

Are these truly interchangeable today? rake posts:rebake bundle exec rake posts:rebake Because the first rake task completed without issue but didn’t regenerate the excerpts. Nevertheless, site was running. Then tried with be. This exited with: rake aborted! PG::ConnectionBad: FATAL: Peer auth…

[תמונה] Johani: This implies that you have other problems. Did you follow the supported installation guide when you set your site up? Yes. Installed exactly as stated in INSTALL-cloud.md Only difference is that it’s 19.04. Haven’t updated any gems manually or anything like that. Here’s the …

I can’t say for sure, but I think you might have two separate problems. Try the following to narrow this down a bit more. remove any non-official plugins rebuild the app try safe-mode and see if the app loads Are you seeing any errors in your browser console on the broken pages?
