Excerpts for posts
-
I used to see an Excerpts box when I pulled down Screen Options for blog posts. Now, Excerpts seems to not be available. How can I restore the Excerpts option? (If it matters, I am using the Argent theme.) Thank you!

Hi! The location of the excerpt setting is going to depend on your editor now. Are you using the block editor?
-
I have (perhaps foolishly!) using both Block and Classic. I think on this particular post, where I couldn’t find “excerpts” or “categories,” I was using Classic.
Do you recommend on editor over the other, to make it easier to access Excerpts and Categories? If yes, which one — and how to I find those options?
Thank you!

I definitely recommend the new editor over the classic editor.
