 * I’m trying to set up my blog with this theme, that I find excellent. But the 
   excerpt setting doesn’t seem to work.
 * If I set it to 0, [it correctly hides the excerpt](https://gyazo.com/b2428f452b786e909d06d42b93f30aba).
 * But, if I set to anything different than 0, [it shows the whole content](https://gyazo.com/f03baef6c7f6a7aca5b80bdc8e073a16)
   of the post, and not just the excerpt.

 * Hi! You are using the custom excerpt field for that post right? I think, whenever
   there is a custom excerpt and not just the post itself, it will always show the
   full excerpt.

 * You are absolutely right. This post was autogenerated by the hosting company 
   when the blog was installed, I didn’t know the post had a custom excerpt. Once
   removed, the excerpt option of your theme works like a charm. Awesome theme!!
