Comment (by davidakennedy):
Hey @Sheriziya! Thanks for the report!
So, as far as I can tell from this ticket – no bugs exist. Everything
you've pointed out works as it should, so long as I'm understanding
everything correctly. I'll clarify a few things:
> The bundled theme 2017 doesn't show the excerpts despite setting the
reading settings to show a summary on the feed.
This is true. As others have mentioned, that setting only effects RSS
feeds, not the site itself.
> ... gives only the summary of the article on the page, suggesting the
excerpt does work, but for some reason only on the search results (mind,
still not on the blog page, archive page nor the category page!).
In Twenty Seventeen, the except shows in two places – on search results
pages and on blog posts shown in the front page sections. This was mostly
a design decision. To use it elsewhere, a child theme is needed.
If a post is less than 55 words, the entire post shows. If it's more than
55 words, an automatic except is shown. If a manual excerpt is created in
the WP Admin, that's shown instead. All this is default WordPress
functionality.
Does that help? Is there anything I missed? If not, I'll close this
ticket. I don't see the theme needing another option allowing users to
control the excerpt or full content of posts.
