I've seen various questions about showing full posts instead of excerpts where the suggestion is to turn off the auto-excerpt setting on the theme, using WordPress as the CMS.
However, this does not appear to have any impact on the blog post template (at least not on one that uses columns/grids).
Neither does changing the number of words in the excerpt length field - using the templates always procduces excerpts of around 25 words.
(a) Is this correct or am I missing some other setting somewhere?
(b) If the blog post template does not take account of the excerpt settings, is there any other option to have a page showing a selection of posts where the excerpt length can be increased somewhat?
And related:
(c) Is there any option to have 'read more' just expand to show the whole post within the blog post template rather than opening another page as long as the word count is below a certain threshold?
Thanks for any help!
