    I already solved the issue. The theme has its own excerpt counter instead of just using the built-in excerpt call from WordPress.

    I presume you simply didn’t see where, above, I specifically noted that I am already using custom excerpts. The problem is whoever designed the theme foolishly hard-coded an excerpt max length with the ellipsis into basic-functions.php instead of providing a call to the custom excerpt through WordPress. This needs to be fixed.

    Hi, Andrew. The same issue with the post slider has been driving me crazy, but I have solved it.

    In wp-content/themes/evolve(-plus)/library/functions, there is a file called “basic-functions.php”. Open it up and look for “echo evolve_excerpt_max_charlength($excerpt_length);” in the evolve_posts_slider() section.

    Replace:

    echo evolve_excerpt_max_charlength($excerpt_length);

    with:

    the_excerpt();

    and your regular custom excerpts should now appear in the post slider.
