I put 10 words maximum but it keeps the original lenght. September 10, 2020 at 9:45 am #19188 TomKeymaster Hi there, That’s correct. The manual excerpt in WordPress assumes that since you’ve taken the time to fill it out, you want the entire thing to show up. Not sure there’s a way around it without building your own excerpt function, unfortunately.
