• Not nice truncated messages on the home page.
    index.php line:17

    was:
    <?php the_content( __( ‘Continue reading →’, ‘convention’ ) ); ?>

    changed:
    <?php the_excerpt( __( ‘Continue reading →’, ‘convention’ ) ); ?>

    Also, to change the label “Continue reading”. You need to edit
    index.php line:17 and functions.php line:26

  • After getting excerpts on the home page, are you seeing read more links on the home page or the archive page?

    I’m not seeing the read more links at all.

    the_excerpt()` does not use any parameters; to get a ‘read more’ link, review the examples in http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt

    I’ve been all over that page of the codex, this theme appears to have everything in place for read more links to appear on the archive page, the functions are there, and I’ve used that same code to call the read more links on to the index, but they’re not showing up…

    Guys, this topic is old.
    I wrote it exactly where the text is changed.
    Now the topic has been updated to version 1.2.1
    It is full of bugs.
    So for her I can not say.

    getting excerpts on the home page

    @aprachar

    please post a link to your site to illustrate the problem.

    is that a static home page?
