I see that the rating referred to Gutenberg itself so I have changed it to 1 star – only because there is no zero star option.

My rating referred to the service of the person who helped me get rid of Gutenberg.

Please explain – I do not understand your comment. What start rating are you referring to?

Sorry I mis-spoke. I deactivated them as you suggest. Then I reactivated them one by one.
And the strange thing is that the home page did not disappear with any of them, so I now have all my plug-ins and the page is visible.
Strange world.

GoDaddy identified the problem as being in one of the plug-ins. I wondered if it might be Classic Editor so that WP could force me into Gutenberg.
On the advice of GD I deleted all the plug-ins and reinstalled them one at a time checking to see if the home page was visible – the idea being to identify the one causing the pronblem.
Well I reinstalled them all and the home page is back – so with that I shall go and pour myself a beer!

Thank you – that fixed it! Return to sanity.

I am now online with Go Daddy who host the site to find out why the home page is blank.

Thank you alchymyth! I still don’t understand why the snippet appeared rather than excerpt but I made the change you suggested and now the full post appears!

Well I don’t understand why I got snippets rather than excerpts but I changed the excerpt to content and now the full post appears!

Thank you for responding so quickly. I have never made any edits – just installed the updates!
what is showing on my home page is the snippet not the excerpt. Before I updated the theme I posted the entire article and then, after a day or so, amended it to excerpt by inserting more.
I have published 400 articles and this has not happened to me before!
I could understand if the new version of the theme used excerpt as a template but I do not understand how it appears as the snippet!
Should I try changing excerpt to content?
