    Hi Mary,

    I'm no WP expert, but this happened to me once before - and it was theme-related.

    Turns out there was another php file that had some code in it that overrode the usual excerpt code.

    Have you checked through the other php files for the theme you are using?

    Thank you Kat, I tried that (on your suggestion) but the only other places seem to be in the archive page and one other place and it doesnt work there either.

    Anyone else got an idea?

    Does anyone know if I turn off the plugins and then add them back if it will erase the plugin settings?

    Hi Mary..

    I think things like your adsense plugin will be affected.. I didn't want to touch them for this reason.. I didn't want to lose all your settings for you..

    Peace
