  Hi all!

  I load Publish Theme.
  I update my first post with an excerpt, in order to test the Excerpt feature.
  I refresh the page but see full post instead my excerpt – why is that?

  thanks for help.

  Hiddai.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The setting here > Settings > Reading is only for the RSS Feed summary and does not affect the posts.

  If you want to display only excerpts on the front page of the blog followed by read more links, you can insert “the more tag” into each post prior to publication.

  Alternatively, you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. This is a list of active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. Here are the themes that currently provide that feature > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410

  Hi.
  One more: Gridiculous Pro uses the excerpt instead of full post.
