    On the blog page the excerpts show a set number of words and then stop. I know that by clicking either the title of the post or the featured image they go to the specific post page, but readers are saying they are confused.

    Is there a setting, or a plugin I can use with the Hueman Theme to get a “Read More” text link that goes to the page?

    No setting (don’t know for plugin) but some PhP modifications.
    For all post except featured, add this near the bottom of content.php, after “<?php the_excerpt(); ?>”:

    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read more</a>

    For featured posts, you do the same in content-featured.php
    This is for “Read more” below the post excerpt.
    In child theme, normally, and mark thread [resolved] if no further questions.
