Okay, thank you. I found what you meant by “excerpt field”.
This is a fresh install of wordpress so I hadn’t used any screen options previously and couldn’t see it.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the quick reply but it’s still not working.
I found the_content function as well. I haven’t used wordpress since the new post format option and I found the correct index.php in there.
I changed it to the_excerpt () then put in <!–more–> after the paragraph I wanted, but it’s still the same and cuts off the paragraph prematurely.
Could there be something in the theme customization that is overiding these options?
Hey man did you ever get this sorted out? I just came across this problem.
