Excerpts now showing in old posts
-
My blog is showing excerpts in only the two newest posts. Every post has an excerpt written but I had turned them off a while ago (I thought that I don’t want them) and then I decided to turn them off and wrote excerpts for every post, for some reason though, you cannot see them.
When I wrote two posts today, they are showing excerpts. I could fix this by writing every post again but I first want to ask, if there is an easier way of fixing this?

There are a few ways wordpress will generate excerpts for blogs and it is all dependent on how it has been coded in the php file.

https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/the_content/If it is coded to display the excerpt field, it will display what is in the actual excerpt text box.
Otherwise, it could be coded to use the main content and trying to create an excerpt by grabbing the first xxx characters of the main body, stripping all html (of which that post has a lot before you show any content) and then outputting what is left – resulting in no actual text to display.
To test, just put the word TEST at the very start of the content area of one of the blogs – before all other text .
