Lifestyle Child 1.1: Photo captions showing up in post snippet

[intreptrav]

In the preview text for a post the first 12 to 15 words of the post should appear, but instead the theme is starting with the caption of the photo heading the post.

Is there a way to get the theme to skip or exclude the caption?

Alternatively, is there a way to override the default and write my own opening to display with the snippet?

Thanks.

What you're asking for is not a function of the Genesis Framework or any child theme. Generating excerpts is a WordPress function. You didn't mention what theme you're using or whether you're using the Classic Editor or Gutenberg.

In Gutenberg, there is a section on the document sidebar called excerpt where you can write your own excerpt and override what WordPress generates.

I put the theme name in the Subject: Lifestyle Child 1.1. And I am using the Classic Editor. I only just learned about Gutenberg and know nothing about it.

I tried entering an excerpt in the sidebar of the editor I have but it didn't seem to affect how the preview snippet appears. See it here . . .

I would like to know this as well. I'm having the same problem.
