Did not find the root cause of the issue, but found a workaround!
I resolved it for my site using “Explicit Excerpt”

To Set An Explicit Excerpt; ppl who are facing the issue can follow the instructions as shown here, under the “To Set An Explicit Excerpt” section:

https://lorelleteaches.com/2012/10/15/how-to-set-and-manage-excerpts-in-wordpress/

After some more analysis I got to know that
putting <!–more–> before the max excerpt length hides the “continue reading” text.

Any idea what might be causing the issue?

Hey Maruti Mohanty,

Thanks for the reply.. but i think you din’t get my issue here. I don’t want the excerpt length to increase.
Like you said,
“If you insert the read more link anywhere less than 40 words in the WYSIWYG editor, then that would reflect in the front end.”

The post excerpt length is correctly appearing in the front end but the “Continue Reading” is missing for certain posts. Please check the site https://midorikittykitty.com/ , you’ll see certain posts miss the “continue reading” part.

My issue is same as discussed under this topic ie. No “Continue Reading” at the bottom of cut off posts.

Also would like to mention that If I remove the <!–more–> from the post, the continue reading appears, but it’s not where I desire it to be. Maybe after a particular length it comes up. But that’s not what I wanted. Wanted to to appear where I had put the ‘more’ portion.

I am facing the same issue in the below mentioned blog.

Some of the posts are missing the ” Continue reading -> ” part even though in the wordpress editor <!–more–> is present.

Please advice how to solve this issue.

dude… u’ll face the same problem again once ur number of posts increase… so you need to manually change/increase the margin-top value by 12 or 13 rem every time u face the problem. There is another very stable theme “pinbin”. I am using that theme in a travel blog for a friend of mine (https://stopposego.com/test_index.php). You can check the extra features that this theme provide, like reordering the small boxes when u change the browser size.

Hi helentea,

I was facing the same issue. I fixed it for my site by clicking on Appearance>>Editor>>Stylesheet and changing

/* Footer */
footer[role=”contentinfo”] {
border-top: 1px solid #ededed;
clear: both;
font-size: 12px;
font-size: 0.857142857rem;
line-height: 2;
max-width: 960px;
max-width: 68.571428571rem;
margin-top: 24px;
margin-top: 1.714285714rem;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding: 24px 0;
padding: 1.714285714rem 0;
}

Hi Petitegrace,

I guess you have not set the “featured image’ on the right column towards the end of the page, under Publish, Categories and other blocks.
