[SOLVED] Opening bracket lost in 'Continue reading…]' in excerpt
 
I noticed an opening bracket missing in "Continue reading…]" on an excerpt. See http://goo.gl/CKiLg and search for "day of Continue reading…]". I wonder, is it some plugin or the theme itself?

What do you have in the theme setting?
Have you tried disabling all the plugins?

It is just one missing '[' out of four on the home page.

The html in the excerpt looks like this (note two 'a' tags in the excerpt, one of them is unclosed):
HTML Code:

<p>blah-bla-blah on the first day of <a [<a href="http://example.com/2011/08/02/post-slug/">Continue reading…</a>]</p>
The html in the underlying post looks like this (note an 'a' tags at the place where an excerpt ends):
HTML Code:

<p>blah-bla-blah on the first day of <a title="some title" href="http://example.org/">The blah-bla-blah</a>.</p>
Is it conceivable that the theme tried to preserve the 'a' tag in the excerpt but something didn't work as it should?

I do remember the setting "preserve 'a' tags in the excerpts". I don't remember other settings; can answer later...

I don't see the issue. when I search using the example, I get a not found. If I look at the categories, I see both brackets

Try to search http://goo.gl/CKiLg for "on the first day of".

Ok, I see it on the excerpt for the post 'Breastfeeding Counseling and Supplies ...'
It looks like that is a link - send me (you can do this in a PM if you want) a copy of the post using the HTML editor and let me know what you have the 'excerpt' count set to.

Sent a PM. Thanks!

Try this, change the 'Custom Read more from
HTML Code:

[<a href="%permalink%">Continue reading...</a>]
to
HTML Code:

<a href="%permalink%">[Continue reading...]</a>
