Hi! This is happening due to WordPress object caching rather than an issue with theme headers themselves.

WordPress does not parse “License” or “License URI” by default. The Theme Check plugin adds support for them dynamically using the extra_theme_headers filter.

However, WP_Theme objects are cached internally. If you run Theme Check against the currently active theme, WordPress may return the already-cached theme data before Theme Check’s filter gets applied. In that situation, the extra headers (License, License URI, etc.) are missing from the output even though they exist correctly in style.css.

A simple workaround is:
1. Temporarily activate another theme
2. Run Theme Check against your target theme again

In most cases, the License fields will then appear correctly.

Hey there! One way to do that would be by using a WordPress filter to prepend the excerpt to the post content.

Here’s the code:

/**
 * Prepends the manual excerpt to the post content.
 *
 * @param string $content The default post content.
 * @return string Modified content with the excerpt prepended.
 */
function stone_blog_show_excerpt_above_content( $content ) {
	// return if not on a single post, not in the main loop, or not the main query.
	if ( false === is_singular( 'post' ) || false === in_the_loop() || false === is_main_query() ) {
		return $content;
	}

	// return if the post does not have a custom manual excerpt.
	if ( false === has_excerpt() ) {
		return $content;
	}

	// Retrieve the excerpt.
	$excerpt = get_the_excerpt();

	// Build the HTML.
	$excerpt_html  = '<div class="post-excerpt-highlight">';
	$excerpt_html .= wp_kses_post( $excerpt );
	$excerpt_html .= '</div>';

	// Return the newly wrapped excerpt followed by the original content.
	return $excerpt_html . $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'stone_blog_show_excerpt_above_content' );

You’ll need to add this code to the functions.php file of your child theme. Alternatively, if you aren’t using a child theme, another way is to use a free code snippet plugin like WPCode or Code Snippets to insert it safely into your project.

Optionally, you can style the excerpt using CSS via Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS.
