This is one of the reasons why HTML markup is removed from excerpts in the first place, to prevent such issues like this from occurring however, where there’s a will, there’s a way… You can, through using regular expression, close the open tags applicable to the excerpt only and you might want to take a … Read more
You can do this pretty easily using the do_shortcode function. Check if an instance of exists in your post content. Here’s a simple function to drop in functions.php that checks the current post’s content for the gallery shortcode: function gallery_shortcode_exists(){ global $post; # Check the content for an instance of with or without arguments $pattern … Read more
My approach would be to: On the Reading Options page, set the For each article in a feed, show… option to Full Text so that, by default, feeds will include the entire post. Pass a custom URL parameter to each individual feed when you want the excerpt instead of the full text. e.g., http://example.com/author/username/feed?format=excerpt. Make … Read more
Try this: if ( has_excerpt( $some_post_id ) ) { // Do something here? } else { // Or here? } References: has_excerpt
I actually never got to add this section to my answer you are referring to. To remove the read more link from the excerpt is quite easy, you just need to compare $count with $excerpt_length. $count will always be between 0 and the value assigned to $excerpt_length. So what we want to do here is … Read more

get_the_excerpt() should work for getting caption just fine. Your issue is that it looks for post to process in global variables and in your code there you are not setting it up with attachments you are iterating through. You need to use setup_postdata() for it to work. Other way would be something like: get_post_field(‘post_excerpt’, $attachment->ID);
When in the loop, this will produce excerpt from $post->post_content directly: <?php echo wp_trim_excerpt(); ?> Read more HERE. Alternative Solution: If you are not in the loop, then, you may use similar implementation as done in the wp_trim_excerpt function: $text = strip_shortcodes( $post->post_content ); $text = apply_filters( ‘the_content’, $text ); $text = str_replace(‘]]>’, ‘]]>’, $text); … Read more
You haven’t added the second filter, at least not in the code posted. If used, that filter will not print ellipses. // Changing excerpt more function new_excerpt_more($more) { global $post; remove_filter(‘excerpt_more’, ‘new_excerpt_more’); return ‘ <a class=”read_more” href=”‘. get_permalink($post->ID) . ‘”>’ . ‘read more’ . ‘</a>’; } add_filter(‘excerpt_more’,’new_excerpt_more’); Notice the couple of changes I made to … Read more

This means, that the function already has the defaults of null for both arguments: The “more” link text and the boolean switch that allows you to strip teaser content before the “more” link text.
