About this plugin
After getting annoyed that the default 2017 theme was showing the full post content on every index page, I extended this support answer into this plugin that can filter calls to “the_content” and return the post excerpt instead.

Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.
