Have you tried:
– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
– switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
Thanks – I found a solution in – iBlogPro – Theme Options – Pages And Posts – Post Excerpt Placement Where should the theme use post excerpts – Don’t show
I did this as I am using a seo plugin which post excerpts – I didnt need both
