I don't know if you have got any further with this.

A follower left me a message, saying that she actually saw only a summary in her email notification when another told me that she saw full text. After asking further questions, I realised that not only my blog language and interface language had to match, my followers' interface language also had to be the same as my interface language for the summary view to work. In other words, if a follower's interface language is different from mine, they see full text in their email notification; if it's the same as mine, then they get a summary.

I will be grateful if you can fix this. It's not good if bloggers and their followers have to synchronise their interface language.

Thanks

All the notifications show more than 55 words/characters.

It used to be fine but this problem just came out of the blue after about 60-70 posts. This tells me that something has changed beyond my control. I'm now changing my setting to English and see how it goes.

In the meantime, is there any way we can communicate privately and take this thread out? Frankly, I don't like the idea of my settings being made public knowledge.

The way the excerpts are set in Chinese is different than they are in English. Could you let me know if you happen to have changed anything in your own language settings recently? Your own locale seems to be currently set to English, whereas your posts' language is set to zh-tw (Chinese-Taiwan). It may be a mismatch between the two which is causing the issue.

It used to show 55 words but it's now showing the full post even when it's longer than 55 words. Thanks.

If you can show me an example of a notification which is showing more than that, I'll be able to investigate further. Thanks for your help.

Here's the file link http://shihninguk.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/wp-email.jpg

If you can see it, the whole post is there. In the past, only the first 1.5 line would show.

Here's a guide on how to make a screenshot, if you're not sure: http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/

You can upload the screenshot in your Media Library and then post a link so I can see it. Thanks!

I have selected 'summary' for how I want my feed and email notifications to followers to show. However, recent email notifications have all shown full text of my posts. I will be grateful if someone can let me know if WP has changed its setting or whether it's just a glitch.

Many thanks,
