The main page of my site is currently an archive page showing recent blog posts. In most cases, it shows the featured image and excerpt from each blog post. Occasionally, we have an image in the beginning of the blog post that I do not want to appear on the archive page(s). I have been able to get around this with other themes by using a custom excerpt but it seems that the Unwind theme is ignoring my custom excerpt… I realized this when I reduced the number of words in my custom excerpt to 30 and it still displays a 57 word excerpt.
Is there a workaround or am I missing an existing setting?

The most recent example: The 6/28/2025 post shows both the featured image and the first image in the blog post on the archive page.
