  I have my blog set to only show a summary of each post, but it still shows the entire thing.

  “I have my blog set to only show a summary of each post”.
  No you haven’t, because there’s no such option. The full vs summary option in Settings > Reading refers to your feed, not your actual blog page.
  To truncate each post on the main page you need to use the read-more tag:
