    Hey there,

    I am developing a site with Genesis and for some reason the post excerpts don't seem to be working and I cant figure out why.

    I have selected Display: Entry Excerpts in the Genesis them settings but it still pulls in the whole post.

    Has anyone ever come across this before? Tearing hair out here.

    Your blog page isn't showing any content other than the title because you have CSS turning the display off:

    .entry-content > p:first-of-type {
        display: none;
    }

    When I turn the content display on, it is showing excerpts appropriately.
