I am wondering why the blog layout (archives and homepage) is showing the full text even when I am selecting “excerpt.” Default WordPress setting is also set to excerpt instead of full text.
You did not see the full post because I added a “Read More” tag. That prevented it from showing the full post on archive pages.
Adding a custom excerpt or removing it doesn’t make any difference. I have now removed the custom excerpt and even the “Read More” tag. In the customizer, I have set the option to excerpt. And yet, it is not resolved!
