 * Greetings!
    Want to learn how to enable & use excerpts in posts. Can anyone shed
   some light on this topic? Thanks!

 * This might help [Excerpts](http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-display-post-excerpts-in-wordpress-themes/)
 * Basically for this theme you would need to change from the_content to be the_excerpt
   which is found in a theme folder named “partials” and the file in question would
   be content.php
 * It’s best to use a child theme for this kind of modification so that whenever
   Celestial Lite has an update, you won’t lose your changes.
