 * I have just installed the Hueman responsive design theme and I have some problems
   with the excerpt. The theme excerpt is at 34 words but the frontpage is showing
   the full lenght of the post…. can anybody tell me what to do – thank you, Henrik

 * Hi,
    strange indeed, I see what is going on, but I cannot reproduce the behavior.
   Your .flex-viewport class has various height (instead of fixed), depending on
   height of your full post. It looks like you did something like PhP modifications
   mentioned in this post [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-full-posts-on-front-page?replies=6](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-full-posts-on-front-page?replies=6)
   by Alex. Exchanging “the_excerpt” with “the_content” in adequate PhP files is
   not Hueman theme specific, you can see same in this “non – Hueman theme” post
   [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-show-full-posts?replies=3](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-show-full-posts?replies=3)
   People do it when they want to show full post on main page instead of excerpt.
   Since you just installed Hueman, PLS check if you did something like this in 
   your previous theme (and now looks “strange” with Hueman slider used) and LMK
   if this solved the issue. Additional: just saw fresh post [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-excerpt-featured?replies=3](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-excerpt-featured?replies=3)
   with similar problem. Regards, Mike
