It doesn’t matter where I insert the “Read More” tag. It ALWAYS cuts the text/excerpt at around 300-305 characters or around 50 words.
What is causing this? Is this due to the new version of WordPress? Which PHP file do I edit to increase the character limit?

Yes, I tried the options “Yes” and “Only for standard format” in “Theme Options > Blog > Excerpt”. I also tried using the “Insert Read More” tag in the WYSIWYG/visual editor and using the built-in excerpt panel in WordPress.
Here’s what I get after trying different combinations:
* I get the “Continue Reading” button but there are no links shown on excerpts (all plain text only) and the excerpt is cut after around 300 characters or 50 words.
* There are links shown on excerpts and the excerpt is NOT automatically cut after around 300 characters or 50 words but there is no “Continue Reading” button.What I want is: “Continue Reading” button + links on excerpts + no limit to the number of characters or words. I know this is possible because I’ve seen it on this guy’s website – http://www.mooash.me/ (from this thread – http://www.pixelwars.org/forums/topic/shortcode-insert-does-not-work/). Here’s a screenshot of one of his excerpts – http://i.imgur.com/pMrREIs.jpg
It’s impossible for me to get all of that to show on my excerpts no matter the combination of settings that I try.
Mehmet Sali, everything’s working fine now. Here’s what I did: Theme Options->Blog->Excerpt and set the value to ‘No’
Now I have the “Continue Reading” button + links on my excerpt + I can put the read more tag anywhere I like and it won’t cut the excerpt length automatically to just 300 characters / 50 words! :)
