    Hello, my archives (cateogry) pages are displaying all posts as Full Content, even though I have the Layout setting for Archives to display Excerpt > 55 words. Am I just doing something wrong?

    Hi there,

    what happens if you disable the Child Theme?

    Hi David, that is one of the first things I tried but it made no difference

    Very odd.

    Were those posts imported or from an old site?
    What happens if you create a new post or convert one of the old ones in Blocks ?

    They were create initially with wp bakery i believe, then i turned off wp bakery to use GP instead and was left with a bunch of shortcode which I removed

    Let me try creating a new post, and also seeing what happens when converting one to blocks

    So it looks like when I create a new post the archives page is displaying the excerpt properly

    However, on existing posts even if i “Convert to blocks” it does not solve the issue.

    I’m guessing the only solution will be to manually re-add all the posts?

    Something in the database must be messing with the excerpts of those posts.
    You could try copying and pasting to a new post and then rename to see if that works.

    I’ve decided to just wipe the site and start from a clean slate and I’ll just re-add the posts that way.

    Looks like it wasnt a GP issue. Thanks for the support though!

    Although the customiser setting clearly says ‘excerpt’ for single posts, it still shows the entire story on page 1. Clearly, a bug there.

    Hi Zahid,

    Here’s an article you may refer to regarding that issue: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/excerpt-issues/#full-post-content-displaying-while-using-excerpt

    If you’ll still need assistance regarding this, kindly open a new topic.
