    Hi, is it possible to make the excerpt shorter? I don’t see it anywhere.
    Another option would be using the read more tag and it works but it doesn’t show a link that says “Read More…”
    I hope somebody can help me with this. Thank you so much in advance!!

    When you’re creating a post, you should have a box showing called Excerpt. If it’s not displayed, go to the top-right of the screen when you’re writing the post, and look for Screen Options. Click that, and check the Excerpt box. Once that’s displayed, you can create your own excerpt here instead of having the theme do it automatically.

    Hi Tim, thank you, that helped a lot but now it still doesn’t say “Read more” or like the theme’s default “Continue reading —->” that looked very pretty.
    Any idea about that?

    If you navigate to Appearance–>Theme Options, click on the Blog tab. Do you have Excerpt set to yes? If not, set it to yes and save, then refresh the main page to see it take effect.

    I got it. Workaround prior to the excerpt upgrade:

    1. Find the file format-standar.php

    2. ABOVE OF: ” ” . __( ‘Pages:’, ‘read’ ), ‘after’ => ” ) ); ”

    PUT THIS CODE: <a class="more-link" href="”> Sigue leyendo →

    3. In Theme Options set “Only for standart format”

    And now you can edit excerpt without duplicate or dissapearing and without limit.

    Regards

    Excuse for formats failure. (In format-standar.php)

    Above of : '' . __( 'Pages:', 'read' ), 'after' => '' ) );

    Paste: <a class="more-link" href=""> Sigue leyendo →

    In Theme Options set \"Only for standart format\

    PD: Excuse me for the duplication, if any moderator can fix it, thanks
