<p>An excerpt is a (usually) brief, text-only post summary. It is used in various places of a theme when a summary of a post is needed, such as on your blog page and archive pages for terms.</p>
<p>Excerpts are either manually crafted or (usually poorly) automatically extracted from the main post content. Hand crafted ones are better because</p>
<ul>
<li>they avoid things like sentences being cut off in the mid…</li>
<li>they allow you create an actual summary and not just the first x words from the post content</li>
<li>they allow you to do better SEO targeting</li>
<li>they look better</li>
</ul>
<p>This plugin will enforce the use of hand-crafted excerpts by your users by preventing a post without an excerpt from being published.</p>
<p>Classic editor support is based on the work done by Scott Walkinshaw and other contributors, found <a href="https://gist.github.com/swalkinshaw/2695510" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.</p>

Mandatory Excerpts for WordPress

Causes the excerpt to be required before a post can be published. Supports both editor types (classic and block aka gutenberg).

<p>The Striptease plugin changes WordPress’s default Read More teaser links so that they link to full posts.</p>
<p>WordPress makes it easy to break up long posts so you can save space on your home page. Simply insert the <code></code> quicktag while editing a post, and WordPress will display the text that comes before it as a teaser followed by a Read More link to the rest of the post. When a reader follows the link, the single-post page is loaded and the browser jumps to the unread text.</p>
<p>This jump can be disorienting, and some bloggers prefer to link their teasers to the full posts instead of the unread text.</p>
<p>That’s where the StripTease plugin comes in. It automatically strips the #more fragments from the end of your teaser links and turns them into links to your full posts.</p>
<h3>Example</h3>
<p>The StripTease plugin automatically changes your teaser links from this:</p>
<pre><code>http://guyfisher.com/2005/09/striptease/#more-6
</code></pre>
<p>To this:</p>
<pre><code>http://guyfisher.com/2005/09/striptease/
