 * Hi. I removed the excerpt from the posts on the front page on my web site, but
   now the posts at the end of the web page appear with double pictures and full
   text, i can’t figure out what I did wrong. Please help me fix this chaos i created.
   And also could you tell me how to remove the three dots on the posts underneath“[…]”.
   Thanks.

   the theme for help;

 * Hey Rdunikk,
 * There is also a way to change excerpt on a each post, from backend (and you can
   leave it just empty space). But it’s for each post.
 * Have fun,

 * Hi,
 * In fact there are 3 options to manage excerpts:
 * 1) Like I was talking about, you can change or disable excerpt from yoursite.
   com/admin –> settings. That should do for all website. At each post level (depending
   theme) you can also enable/disable them.
 * 2) If it doesn’t work, sometimes you might need to tweak theme css style (you
   can force to hide all excerpt by a simple css rule like excerpt{display:none;}
 * 3) Hardcore mode, in WordPress database, there is a excerpt record related for
   each post id, so you can edit that with for example PHPMyadmin.
 * Feel free to post your website sample, it’s difficult to answer without seeing
   an actual example,

 * I’ll add that excerpt is also often managed by your theme functions.php file 
   by a simple math function (if more than 30 words, then display “Read more” link
   or button).
