 * Hi,
 * I need to modify my theme to use excerpts rather than full-length posts. I’ve
   been trying to use the “read more” feature in wordpress but was told it’s a theme
   issue.
 * Using the excerpts would definitely help increase my page views so I’d really
   like to make the modifications.
 * Does anyone know what I’d need to do? I’m not familiar with coding.
 * Here is a google doc link to view screenshots: [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1F-iedU9KMsUec6qEYrOI9BAjI3d-BU_e](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1F-iedU9KMsUec6qEYrOI9BAjI3d-BU_e)

 * Do you mean you cannot use “Read more” tag? Did you try it out? Read more will
   cut the content via the_content() within the theme, it should be working as long
   as the theme use the_content().
