Thank you for using antisocialmediallc.com themes and contributing to the improvement of antisocialmediallc.com products by posting to the forums. At this time there is only one developer trying to maintain a number of different products. That developer is also the sole support technician maintaining and up-keeping not only the products here but also on some other websites. This means that sometimes responses will not be immediate. Often you will find your question has already been asked and answered somewhere on the site either in the forums or as comments to posts. Please take some time to search the site if you are not receiving a timely response to your question or use the contact form to make a direct inquiry.
Disclaimer: please make a backup of your files before editing them, so you can restore them later if anything falls apart. I will not be held responsible for you not backing up the original files. This modification is unofficial and completely homemade. It worked for me, but I cannot guarantee it to work elsewhere, so please make a backup.
Look for the file "featured1.php" (typically /wp-content/themes/producer/includes/featured1.php)
That's calling the excerpt again, even though it has been called before in the same file. Leave the rest, as it's the [Read More] link. So leave the line as:
I was having trouble with excerpts appearing twice in category 1. Per the advice of an antisocial media tech support rep, I downloaded the newer Producer version (2.1.9.8) in ftp and after doing so the double excerpt disappeared and the excerpt is appearing only once. However, now the "read more" text isn't displaying at the end of the excerpt in category 1. It's appearing at the end of the other categories though. (See http://aunaturelonline.com for an example.) Please advise. Thanks.
