   hi.. is it possible to use <!--more--> only when people view the category archive only? I mean, when people view my category archive, they will not see the whole posts, just some first part of the posts which I divide using <!--more--> or maybe it can automatically make a summary of the posts like in the rss feed.

   But when they view the main page, they will see the whole posts.

   Thanks.

   If you want "whole post on the main page" - dont'use the "more".
   Instead replace the_content tag in your archive.php file with the_excerpt.
   Warning: it is archive.php (singular!) not archives.php, which is completely different thing!

   You could work with excerpts. There is an excerpt plugin (the_excerpt Reloaded), which allows for some customising like length of the excerpts.

   Then you'd have to put something like this into your index:
   if (is_category()) { the_excerpt_reloaded(options); } else { the_content(); }

   edit: too slow ;)... but the plugin might still be worth a look! Oh yes, and I presumed, your category archives would be displayed by your index.php

   thanks, it works! But why after I replace the_content with the_excerpt in the archive.php file, the images in the posts are gone? I have small images in the first part of my posts. Is there any other way so that the images are still shown?

   Thank you.

   If you had checked out the plugin I suggested, you wouldn't ask. ;)
