Length excerpt

Hello Li-An,

You actually HAD a custom excerpt specified – take a look on the page now. I have removed the excerpt from the post: https://jmmeyer00.alwaysdata.net/blogtest/wp-admin/post.php?post=1&action=edit

And it properly displays the readmore button now: https://screencast.com/t/bTvAvRuSST

Note that the excerpt field was hidden and you simply might’ve not seen it.

Regards,
Rafal

Hi Li-An,

Actually you had the manual excerpt specified. I have enabled the excerpt and it’s been there all the time: https://screencast.com/t/qFNc1s1nTS

You may see now that the Read More button is showing up now.

I really appreciate your help with this one!

OK, I understand now my misunderstood. Sorry for that. I did not imagine that this setting could interfere with the widget – as other plugins I tested show excerpt no matter of this setting.

Well I decided to stick up with the default WordPress behavior which doesn’t limit the excerpt if specified manually. This actually gives more control and allows filters to populate and I’ll keep it this way!

Thanks for the report. Closing the ticket.
