#17492 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

$text param in wp_trim_excerpt should be optional

Description

According to the ​Docs, the $text param is required but "if set to empty an excerpt is generated."

Calling wp_trim_excerpt(); (i.e. without the param) works, but throws a Warning.

It makes sense to default the $text param to empty and make it optional.
