Template: Excerpt (Generated)
This is the post content. It should be displayed in place of the auto-generated excerpt in single-page views. Archive-index pages should display an auto-generated excerpt of this content. Depending on Theme-defined filters, the length of the auto-generated excerpt will vary from Theme-to-Theme. The default length for auto-generated excerpts is 55 words, so to test the excerpt auto-generation, this post must have more than 55 words.
Be sure to test the formatting of the auto-generated excerpt, to ensure that it doesn’t create any layout problems. Also, ensure that any filters applied to the excerpt, such as <code>excerpt_length</code> and <code>excerpt_more</code>, display properly.

Edge Case: Nested And Mixed Lists
Nested and mixed lists are an interesting beast. It’s a corner case to make sure that
- Lists within lists do not break the ordered list numbering order
- Your list styles go deep enough.
Ordered – Unordered – Ordered

Markup: Title With Markup
Verify that:
- The post title renders the word „with“ in italics and the word „markup“ in bold.
- The post title markup should be removed from the browser window / tab.
Markup: Title With Special Characters
Putting special characters in the title should have no adverse effect on the layout or functionality.
Special characters in the post title have been known to cause issues with JavaScript when it is minified, especially in the admin when editing the post itself (ie. issues with metaboxes, media upload, etc.).

Template: Sticky
This is a sticky post.
There are a few things to verify:
- The sticky post should be distinctly recognizable in some way in comparison to normal posts. You can style the
.sticky
class if you are using the post_class() function to generate your post classes, which is a best practice. - They should show at the very top of the blog index page, even though they could be several posts back chronologically.
- They should still show up again in their chronologically correct postion in time, but without the sticky indicator.
- If you have a plugin or widget that lists popular posts or comments, make sure that this sticky post is not always at the top of those lists unless it really is popular.
