1		Hello there, I've never reported a WordPress bug before, so bear with me. I'm been working with a reputable theme developer, Themeco, with an issue I was trying to resolve, and [according to their estimation](https://theme.co/forum/t/layouts-and-post-excerpts-bug/83415/14/), it appears to be either an issue with Wordpress core or an issue with the Wordpress documentation being inaccurate. In either case, I'l like to report it as succintly as possible and hopefully get it resolved.

3	3	According to [your documentation here](https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More), I should be able to enter a <!--more--> tag or the corresponding "Read More" block in the block editor and that should limit what the_excerpt() returns to the text before the more tag (instead of the 55 word limit). And, indeed, it does so everywhere except for the single-post page. On the single-post page, it either returns the manual excerpt or it returns the 55 character limit if there is no manual excerpt.
