Well I seem to have sorted it out, but not sure exactly what’s happening.
The code on my live site does not include any reference to Continue Reading, or a link. Though somehow they show up anyway. Here is my code…
<p>[display-posts date_query_before="-1 years" title="See what was biting on this day 1 year ago." include_excerpt="true" include_date="true" include_title="false" posts_per_page="1" ] [display-posts date_query_before="-2 years" title="See what was biting on this day 2 years ago." include_excerpt="true" include_date="true" include_title="false" posts_per_page="1" ] [display-posts date_query_before="-3 years" title="See what was biting on this day 3 years ago." include_excerpt="true" include_date="true" include_title="false" posts_per_page="1" ] [display-posts date_query_before="-4 years" title="See what was biting on this day 4 years ago." include_excerpt="true" include_date="true" include_title="false" posts_per_page="1" ] [display-posts date_query_before="-5 years" title="See what was biting on this day 5 years ago." include_excerpt="true" include_date="true" include_title="false" posts_per_page="1" ]</p>
and this is what renders..

If I add the “Continue Reading” and “excerpt_more_link” shortcodes to my staging site code it works just fine. I just don’t understand how it’s working on my live site without those.
Anyway, sorry for not seeing this before posting. I still don’t understand it, but I can get it working for my needs so it’s all good.
