    I am trying to change the excerpt of the main page of my blog. I can modify the excerpts of my post, but can not find the excerpt of the whole blog. If pasted somewhere, it keeps telling ‘this is a short excerpt of your blog’. Is it modifiable with standard plan?
    Thank you

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

    This has nothing to do with upgrading which will not solve your issue.

    Note that “the more tag” is not a theme-specific feature. There is also no global setting for it.

    Also, note that 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.

    The read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or main page for posts display from full post to an excerpt. The split in the text does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.

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