Hi
Is it your own custom template, if yes make a new template files named frontpage.php copy the content of your index and replace the tag the_content() by the_excerpt()
if its not your own template when you edit a post there is a box below the content. Its called the excerpt, put your test there.
Thanks, eduplessis!
Well, I am using the wordpress 3.0 default template called ‘twentyten’. And this is not my ‘own custom template’, is it? Actually I could not find any tags such as ‘the_content()’ and ‘the_excerpt()’ in the index file in the ‘/wp-content/themes/twentyten’ folder. Any further advice, please?
TwentyTen does this in loop.php:
edit loop.php and find this line (line132, there is also the same code on line 104, but that is the wrong line)
<?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?>
change it to:
<?php if ( is_front_page() || is_home() || is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for front page, home, archives and search. ?>
Wow, it works!
Thanks a lot, alchymyth! Great!!
thanks…it works for my problem too
This is great, but is there a way to preview a photo that I include in the post? All of my posts will have a photo and I will want them to be seen on the preview.
Thanks!
