 * At least when it comes to settings related to CPTUI, the only thing we really
   have is making sure “Excerpt” is checked in the “supports” section of our content
   type settings page. However that only reveals and makes sure the “Excerpt” metabox
   is displayed for you to fill in with a custom excerpt value.
 * Everything else would be using the first 55 words from the start of the post 
   content.
 * Regarding display, that’d depend on your theme and whatever blocks/modules/widgets/
   etc there are available and if they have “excerpt” versions vs just the full 
   post content.
