It's still showing the full posts on my homepage. Is there something else I need to select in my settings?? washingtonautocredit on "Summary, how-to please" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/237803#post-1069655 Sat, 09 May 2009 23:19:31 +0000 washingtonautocredit 1069655@http://wordpress.org/support/ I am trying to make my home page display the summary, and I have that selected in the wp-admin area, but no dice. I hope maybe you can tell me why. This is my code: <div id="content"> <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <?php global $more; $more = 0; ?> <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> <h2><a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2> <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>  <div class="entry"> <?php the_content('Read More...'); ?> </div> <?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', ' '); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?> <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?> </div> Gangleri on "Summary, how-to please" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/237803#post-967769 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 12:52:48 +0000 Gangleri 967769@http://wordpress.org/support/ Alternately you can look for excerpt plugins. I use Excerpt Editor myself, it's quite flexible.

That code looks okay.

I'd tried simply inserting the  quicktag into a post, but it didn't work, as with your example. I made a new post, copy+pasted that in the body, published it, and the entire thing just showed up on my front page. Still no cut-off or anything. And the only mention of the_content in my index.php file is : <pre><code><div class="entry"> <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?> </div></code></pre> Which i can't make anything up out of.

Write a post with this in the body of the post: <blockquote>This is an example of using the more which cuts off here <code></code> and this is the rest of the posts. </blockquote> Save the post, visit your site. Also look at wp-content/themes/default/index.php for how <code>the_content</code> is structured.

I fumble over the first line. Where do i enable that? looked through all the settings tabs, not in there :( MichaelH on "Summary, how-to please" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/237803#post-967327 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 22:26:55 +0000 MichaelH 967327@http://wordpress.org/support/ You use the more Quicktag, <code></code>, in your post to note the cutoff point. See <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More">Customizing_the_Read_More</a> for more info.

With 2.7 up and running i'd figure it's now or never, even though it's probably stupidly simple: How do i get my front page to only show the first X ammount or words or lines from a post followed by a 'Read more...' button, and not the entire post itself? I figured it's not the excerpt thing (Though, not being a native english speaker, i don't really know what it is), but i can't figure out what does do what i want either. I see it everywhere, but can't figure out how to do it myself. Is this a plugin?
