"In Short" Plain-Language Summary Above Posts
Shows the post's excerpt in a highlighted "In short" box at the top of single posts, giving every reader, including people with reading or cognitive disabilities, a simple summary before the full text.

Add Excerpts, Revisions and More to Any Post Type
Switches on editor features such as excerpts, revisions, page attributes or custom fields for post types that were registered without them.
Add a "Continue Reading" Link to Excerpts
Replaces the [...] at the end of automatic excerpts with an accessible "Continue reading" link to the full post.
Card Layout for the Post Grid Shortcode (SCSS)
Styles the [post_grid] shortcode output as clean cards with rounded images, a subtle shadow on hover and clamped excerpts, respecting reduced-motion settings.
Change the "Read More" Tag Link
Changes the text of the link created by the More block and stops it from jumping halfway down the post when clicked.
Change the Excerpt Length
Sets automatically generated excerpts to 30 words instead of the default 55.
Clear Related Pages From WP Rocket's Cache on Update
When a post is updated, also clears the WP Rocket cache for the homepage, the blog page, its category and tag archives and the author page, so lists never show stale titles or excerpts.
Descriptive "Read More" Links With the Post Title
Adds the post title as hidden text to "Read more" and "Continue reading" links, so screen reader users hear where each link goes instead of a list of identical links.
Disable Automatic Paragraphs
Stops WordPress from wrapping text in paragraph tags and adding line breaks in classic content and excerpts. Block content is not affected.
Enable Excerpts for Pages
Adds the Excerpt box to pages, which many themes and SEO plugins can use as a summary.
Excerpt Column in the Posts List
Adds an Excerpt column to the Posts screen showing the start of each manual excerpt, and a clear "missing" label where none was written, so editors can fill the gaps.
Excerpt Length Counter in the Block Editor
Shows a live character and word count under a short preview of the excerpt in the editor sidebar, colored when it is too short or too long for search results and post cards.
Highlight Search Terms in Results
Wraps the searched words in mark tags in result titles and excerpts, so visitors see why each result matched.
Limit Post Titles and Excerpts to a Few Lines in Grids
Cuts long post titles to two lines and excerpts to three lines in blog grids and Query Loop blocks, so cards line up neatly whatever the text length.
Replace Words in Content on Display
Swaps words or phrases in post titles, content and excerpts when pages are shown, without editing the posts. Useful after a rebrand or a product rename.
Require an Excerpt Before Publishing
Blocks publishing posts that have no hand-written excerpt, so archive pages, search results and social shares always have a proper summary.
Run Shortcodes in Manual Excerpts
Processes shortcodes typed into the Excerpt field instead of printing them as plain text.
Save an Excerpt Automatically When One Is Missing
Fills in the excerpt field from the first sentences of the post when it is saved without one, so feeds, plugins and APIs that read the stored excerpt always get a summary.
Search Text Across All Content (WP-CLI)
Adds a "wp search-content" command that finds an exact word or phrase in titles, content and excerpts of every post type, so you can locate old links, prices or names quickly.
Show Excerpts Instead of Full Posts on Archives
Shows a short excerpt and a "Read more" link for each post on the blog page, archives and search results, for themes that print the full content of every post.
Show the Matching Text in Search Results
Replaces the usual opening-lines excerpt in search results with the passage of the post that actually contains the search words.
