I'm using the_excerpt();
on an archive page; my problem: manual excerpts display, but automatic excerpts do not (just for clarification: an automatic excerpt meaning a snippet generated from the_content();
when a manual excerpt isn't present)
What I've Tried/Figured Out So Far:
- I eliminated the possibility that the word/character length could be set to 0
the_content();
shows up fine- I removed my custom
functions.php
to make sure there wasn't any conflicting code on my end - I've tried
the_excerpt();
andget_the_excerpt();
Settings > Reading
"For each article in a feed, show" (1) Full Post (2) Summary. I selected both, but nothing changes- The excerpt content doesn't show up in the DOM (ie. it's not a CSS issue)
- I disabled all plugins
Worth Noting: I am using a template, but until recently the_excerpt();
worked.
edits: I forgot to note, the "Read More" Button shows up
