WordPress Export File Adds Spaces to Excerpt Field

[rinkuyadav999]

WordPress export and import feature have issue. it adds space in except filed.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Export all content: Tools > Export.
2. Import using .xml file to other website. you will find space in manual excerpt filed even there was no space or content in manual excerpt filed of original content.

Seems when we export, it adds space in xml file and then this space also get imported in manual excerpt filed.

Problem : Manual except filed contain spaces so automatic excerpt does not display. manual except contents display but it is spaces only.

Fix : if manual excerpt filed is empty in original contents then no data should import for manual excerpt filed. so automatic excerpt can display.
