 * I don´t know, but I can´t seem to disable excerpts.
    There is no setting in the
   theme, and if I change the setting in wordpress (Settings->read) nothing happens.
   How can I fix this?

 * Hi,
 * Would you please explain what you want?
 * Do you want to disable excerpt and show full text on the blog page or just remove
   the excerpt?
 * Please let me know.

 * Hello,
 * The best way to make changes like this to a theme is to use a [child theme](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/),
   so your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme.
 * After making the child theme copy the file named content.php (template-parts/
   content.php) from parent theme.
    Make sure you followed the folder hierarchy.
 * Edit this file and find the `the_excerpt();` and replace with this `the_content();`
 * Save the file.
 * Hope it helps and let me know if you require any further assistance.
