As a user, I want to be able to manually insert an excerpt. Per WordPress docs:
The manual WordPress excerpt is often confused with the automatic excerpt or with the teaser (the part of a post that appears on the front page when you use the More tag). While both are related to the manual excerpt, they are different from it.
The relationship between the three is this: When a post has no manual excerpt and the post template uses the the_excerpt() template tag, WordPress generates an excerpt automatically by selecting the first 55 words of the post. When the post template uses the the_content() template tag, WordPress will look for the More tag and create a teaser from the content that precedes the More tag.
Hello,
Yes you can create a manual excerpt and it will override the theme automatic excerpt. Simply type in the excerpt you want here: https://www.screencast.com/t/ztPVWpoj
Thanks.
Right, but I want the Newspaper theme to respect the “Insert More Read More” tag as it’s a default option.
