Which RocketTheme file controls the excerpt value? I feel as though somewhere along the way I changed something or maybe it's as simple as manually adding an excerpt in an excerpt field in the post edit admin. I don't add excerpts to my posts as I thought it does it automatically from the post description. Does it?
By default the excerpt length is set to return 55 words. My Theme Settings: Blog View/Content Type = Excerpt, but still only shows the Content even after cleaning cache. How do I force the saved Blog setting to actually display excerpt and not full content as I configured it?
I already looked at the theme's function.php and don't see anything related to "the_excerpt". I already tried adding below "custom_excert_length" to theme function.php, which ignores it altogether.

function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
return 80;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );
SO, is excerpt parsed from excerpt field in post edit or automatically generated from post description? Thanks.
UPDATE: Just checked an existing post to edit and there is no excerpt field for post type Post.
