Hi,

I can not figure out why some of my posts are missing excerpts and Read More link in the bottom. Could you please help to identify what causing the issue?

Hey there,

In Appearance > Customize > Blog, increase Excerpt Length to a higher number. Try 500.

Thanks.

Nope, it didn’t help. If I put such a size Read More link disappears from every post bot those two still do not have excerpt or/and Read More link.

Would you mind using Manual Excerpts. This is the recommended method. See http://www.wpbeginner.com/glossary/excerpt/. This doesn’t show the read more button though so you’ll need to add the code below in your functions.php.

function manual_excerpt_more( $excerpt ) {
  $excerpt_more = '';
  if( has_excerpt() ) {
      $excerpt_more = '<div><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" rel="nofollow" class="more-link">Read More</a></div>';
  }
  return $excerpt . $excerpt_more;
}
add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'manual_excerpt_more' );

Thanks.

That helped. Thanks a lot!

You’re welcome. Glad we could help. 🙂
