List post titles only in category view | WordPress.org

Right now when viewing a Category all the posts for that category is displayed either in it’s entirety or until the More tag.

How can I change this so that when viewing a category only the posts titles are listed, no other post text. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

With the help of the Template Hierarchy article, determine what Template is displaying your Category archives (views).

Then in that Template, change the use of the template tag, the_content(xxxxx), to the_excerpt().

I’m sure that might make sense to someone out there but not me, anyone else with any suggestions?

If you are using the WordPress Default theme you would edit the file wp-content/themes/default/archive.php and

change:
<?php the_content() ?>

to
<?php the_excerpt() ?>

I think he wants no text at all, just the post titles.

In that case, just delete the template tag <?php the_content() ?> from your theme’s category.php file or, if it doesn’t exist, from the archive.php file.
