Unsure if I am missing something, but I can’t get this theme component to work ☹
When component is enabled all is rendered exactly the same as when disabled. Same happens when previewing. Have updated discourse to 2.5.0.beta5 ( [f2647f1f36](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/f2647f1f36c95db004f6054a8db12311d8b2b890)) component to latest release.

Last month there was a change, unfortunately but I removed the **TLP** instead using:

Thank you. What version of Discourse and Topic List Excerpt do you use? I wonder if the issue can be that I have the latest 2.5 beta 🤔 anyhow, will try and rebuild without the TLP-plugin

There’s no need to use this Theme Component with the TLP plugin? TLP delivers excerpts anyway and always has done. Why did you want to install this on top of TLP instead of just changing the TLP settings to add excerpts? They will likely step on each others toes.
You only need this TC if you are using neither the TLP plugin or the TLP TC.

I just want to confirm everything is working so well for now
