WP Codex
The codex recommends this. I havent tried it though
That doesn’t work. Is there something specific with the Responsive theme that is displaying the full text?
Ah i’m very sorry, but i’m not a support person. I spotted this topic and thought i might be able to help, i hadnt realised it was specific to a theme when posting.
The only other thing i can suggest is contacting their support website. Sometimes the developers respond better through their website.
Author Website
Although, you may have already tried that.
Yeah I tried their site several days ago and have not seen a reply. I found a plugin that did the trick (Advanced Excerpt).
Thanks for replying!
I have noticed that some plugin authors are slow to reply. Its difficult to judge sometimes there are that many out there, i’m glad you got it sorted. I’ll take a look at that plugin, might come in handy at some point.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for pointing out this issue in the theme. We will soon update the theme with the fix.
Thanks for the reply @bogski
I resorted to using a plugin but if this could be adjusted in the theme settings, that would be ideal. Thanks!
Hi,
There is a page template “Blog Excerpt(Summary)” that can be used to display blog post excerpts. This can be chosen under Add new Page > Page Attributes > Template > Blog Excerpt(Summary).
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
