Emailed posts not flagging as 'Standard'

    Our blog is set to publish posts as excerpts. However, when a post is emailed in it publishes the article in full. When you ‘edit’ the post you can see it has the Format option of ‘Standard’ ticked but there are two ‘Standard’ radio tabs showing, the original one at the top of the Format list and a new one at the end (this is the one added & selected). By deselecting this one and selecting the upper version the post suddenly works as intended.

    Is this a bug or have we made an incorrect setting?

    This is WordPress’ Post Format selector:

    Are you getting another control separate to this to set the post format?

    Yes. At the bottom of that list is a second ‘Standard’ radio tab that appears on emailed posts. I can edit the post and deselect this new ‘standard’ option and selection the top, original one and the post then displays correctly as an excerpt.

    extra 'format' option

    That’s not part of WordPress so a plugin (or custom code) could be adding it. To make sure things work as expected, use the first “Standard” selector in the list.

    But that’s the point, it is only posts that are emailed in where this additional ‘standard’ selector is fabricated out of thin air and applied. For all other types of post it does not exist and we aren’t running any custom code on the site. It’s only posts that come in from Postie which creates this new and undesired ‘Standard’ and selects it. We have to manually edit each Postie post to deselect this and select the correct one. What we cannot work out is why each Postie post is creating this additional ‘standard’ selector and opting to use it to post under?

    Try to disable all your active plugins and see if this additional selector disappears. Then re-enable the plugins one at a time and re-check to figure out which one is adding it.
