This might be what’s causing the problem.

The easiest solution in the short term would be to create custom excerpts for the posts that you publish to Discourse and deselect the [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) Use Full Post Content option. If this isn’t possible with the Avada theme then some code will have to be added that hooks into the [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) `wp_discourse_excerpt` filter.
