 * Using Hemingway Theme
    Showing full post text instead of excerpt on Home. I’ve
   tried putting function mytheme_custom_excerpt_length( $length ) { return 55; }
   add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, ‘mytheme_custom_excerpt_length’, 999 );
 * in function functions.php without any effect
 * I cleared my cache.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdefault-excerpt-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
