    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.

  • 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.

    Replace <?php the_excerpt(); ?> with <?php the_content(); ?>.

    Hi esmi,

    Cheers

    Hi 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!

    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

    Thanks, 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!
