    I want to use an automatic excerpt option on my WordPress Blog with the Alkivia-Chameleon installed theme but it doesn't work.

    I try many Excerpt plugins but without succes. Can someone tell me which steps I must take so that all the posts give a 'Read More' link at for example 250 characters.

    I hope someone can help me.

    What exactly is the problem? Say that the excerpt "doesn't work" isn't very helpful.

    Sorry, my English is not very well. I want that the content of my posts auto-creating excerpts when publishing new posts and pages.

    Like this plugin http://www.laptoptips.ca/projects/wordpress-excerpt-editor for example.

    I've installed many different plugins but without succes. With all the new posts I create, the full content is listed on the homepage.

    When I put the <!--more--> tag that works fine. But I don't want do it manually for each post.

    Excerpts show up on WordPress through two methods. One, by replacing the template tag the_content() with the_excerpt(). Then the explicit excerpt you have entered in the Administration > Write > Post SubPanel will appear, or the first 55 words of the post's content. Users can then click on the title to continue reading more as you have enticed them with your summary introduction.

    I have the associated problem.
    I replaced the_content()tag with the_excerpt() tag in
    page-full.php and page.php, but it did not produce any result.
