    Hello,

    I am switching to a new theme and I just deleted the Rich Text Excerpt plugin and all files. My WordPress setting is set to show summary. However, I can still see the excerpt by the plugin. (Which I has set before). Why is this happening? I want to see the default WP excerpt for now since I’ve removed the plugin.

    Thanks,
    Priyanka

    There are different ways a theme can display excerpts – the plugin will only affect what is stored in the post_excerpt field in the posts table. In order to display excerpts formatted using the plugin, the theme needs to access $post->post_excerpt in the loop. If the theme uses the_excerpt() or get_the_excerpt($post->ID) in the loop, the excerpt is derived from the post_content (see the Code Reference). The WordPress setting to show summaries is a bit misleading, as this is only really applicable to RSS feeds, and event then is only applicable to the default RSS feeds generated by WordPress core. The way your site operates is almost entirely determined by the theme/plugins you are using.

    I’m marking this as solved as you haven’t responded to my answer yet – I hope my explaination was sufficient to solve your problems
