Hi Alexandra Moor,

I am sorry for the inconvenience caused.Regarding your first inquiry

The catory "on air archive" is not selected in the category filter. nevertheless blogs from this category will be also shown.

I have tried to replicate this issue locally, and we believe this is a bug where the exclude category suppose not be shown on the latest blog post module. While we troubleshoot/debug on this locally,then try to access back your back end as well as your front, the You are a spammer, hacker or an otherwise bad person. appeared:(.
Can you please advise? this is my current IP: 175.139.128.120
However, can you please download this file (see attachment) and place it on the:
DIR:../administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/category/category.php

Regarding your second inquiry

The truncation of words is also not working for the last entry. (3 entries are shown, on the third entry truncation is not working)

I've tried replicate this locally, and seems I cannot reproduce it. We need your back end and front end access back for troubleshoot further on this.

Sorry for my late answer..I was away some days.

I uploaded the category.php and its working just fine.
the problem with the truncation did not appear again, so forget about it unless it appears again.

thanks !
