    Hello All,

    I am trying to figure out how to get it to only put the excerpt I choose on the post when it is shared to Facebook and not the first x amount of words/characters… Any suggestions?

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

    You can post manually to Facebook and control exactly how much is posted there that way.

    You can set your RSS Feed to summary. The setting here > Settings > Reading is only for the RSS Feed summary and does not affect the posts.

    Also note what follows please. 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 ext 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. https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/blog-excerpts
