Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for your quick and detailed reply. I think at this point I must state that I am a total beginner with WordPress. I have been working on the website for about a year and have built it mostly by reading whatever I can on the internet and through trial and error. I have only some very basic knowledge of HTML, and I have not delved into PHP code yet. In addition, I’m not the most technically-adept person, so that element is difficult for me.
Having said that, I realize that going forward is likely to be difficult.
However, I want/need to resolve this issue. Can you direct me to where I would run the get_the_excerpt function? Also, I do not know how to run arbitrary PHP code.
Thanks for your help.
