How Do I Edit Excerpt in WordPress?

When you’re writing a post, you may want to excerpt portions of your text for different purposes. Excerpting can be helpful for formatting, for including quotes in a post, or for providing a brief overview of a topic.

To excerpt text in WordPress, use the [Excerpt] tag. The [Excerpt] tag takes a single parameter: the number of characters or words you want to excerpt.

You can include a space between the [Excerpt] tag and the text you want to excerpt.

For example, to excerpt a paragraph of text, you could use the [Excerpt] tag like this:

This is a paragraph of text.

[/Excerpt]
