Modifying CSS Categories to show Excerpts
-
Hi there,
does anybody know a CSS code to put in for making the categories show excerpts instead of full posts in the bootstrap theme. When you click on a category it displays the full posts instead of just an excerpt of each post, it takes forever scrolling through them for visitors. Any help with a code to put in my CSS editor would be appreciated.Lynchd57

That won’t be CSS. It will be PHP. Try editing the relevant template file and replacing
<?php the_content();?>
with<?php the_excerpt();?>
. If you don’t know which file to edit, have a look at Theme Development.Hi there,
This is the category PHP template which part of this code do l edit,get_header(); ?> <section id="primary" class="span8"> <?php tha_content_before(); ?> <div id="content" role="main"> <?php tha_content_top(); if ( have_posts() ) : ?> <header class="page-header"> <h1 class="page-title"><?php printf( __( 'Category Archives: %s', 'the-bootstrap' ), '<span>' . single_cat_title( '', false ) . '</span>' ); ?></h1> <?php if ( $category_description = category_description() ) { echo apply_filters( 'category_archive_meta', '<div class="category-archive-meta">' . $category_description . '</div>' ); } ?> </header><!-- .page-header --> <?php while ( have_posts() ) { the_post(); get_template_part( '/partials/content', get_post_format() ); } the_bootstrap_content_nav(); else : get_template_part( '/partials/content', 'not-found' ); endif; tha_content_bottom(); ?> </div><!-- #content --> <?php tha_content_after(); ?> </section><!-- #primary --> <?php get_sidebar(); get_footer();
Really appreciate your help.

.Hi esmi,
thank you very much job done.Cheers
davidHi esmi,
I am trying to fix my excerpts option in 3.4.2. I looked at all the above information, but don’t see which file in the c-panel this code is contained.
BTW, I got the RSS fixed! Thanks!done
did you intend the “done” post for me, luynchd57, or for esmi?
It was just l am finished with the post. if your directing that questions towards me and my problem, mine was in the bootstrap theme and l was having trouble with categories showing full posts instead of excerpts. I found the file its was under edit content php file this the part of the file you have to change to excerpt, you can see where l put excerpts in.
<?php endif;
the_excerpt( __( ‘Continue reading <span class=”meta-nav”>→</span>’, ‘the-bootstrap’ ) );
the_bootstrap_link_pages(); ?>
</div><!– .entry-excerpt –>
<?php endif; ?>goodluck
lynchd57Thanks, lynchD57.
My issue wasn’t exactly what yours was (I don’t know what a “bootstrap” is), but it lead me to use some different keywords in my search in the forum. Woo-hoo! Now it works. Thanks so much!
