Hello Folks,
I would like it that my posts are automatically abbreviated without the need to apply the 'read more' feature while posting.
I have tried the plugins Evermore and Post Teaser but they didn't work (I'm using 2.7.1). How can I just make it happen myself?
I thank you in advance

Excerpts show up on WordPress through two methods. One, by replacing the template tag the_content() with the_excerpt(). Then the explicit excerpt you have entered in the Administration > Write > Post SubPanel will appear, or the first 55 words of the post's content. Users can then click on the title to continue reading more as you have enticed them with your summary introduction.
You could change your theme to call the excerpt instead of the content. See the video in the following post. When the video loads, click on "the content" in the nav links on the left.
