Theme: Twenty Twelve – is this misbehaving?

    I’m a newbie to WordPress but experienced in IT (not a PHP developer though).

    http://www.eastcommunitytransport.co.uk is my first commercial WordPress site and I started it today.

    Using this theme, I have two static pages (so far) and I’ve added a news category to navBar (my primary menu). At the time of writing, the news category has two posts.

    In Settings|Reading the template has been set to show Summary posts (though I suspect that this may relate only to the Front page) but the posts in the News category are displayed in full.

    Ideally, I would want such grouped posts to show the title and three or four lines enabling the user to “zoom” into a specific post. This would be my preferred solution for all but static pages as the site develops.

    If anyone can guide me through this I will be obliged. I’n unafraid of tweaking the code if required but don’t know sufficient PHP to do it without careful guidance.

    Thanks in anticipation.

    this is only for rss feeds.

    you need to edit content.php (ideally in a child theme; http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes); line 33:

    <?php if ( is_search() ) : // Only display Excerpts for Search ?>

    and change that to include whatever index or archive you want;

    example:

    <?php if ( is_search() || is_archive() ) : // Only display Excerpts for Search and Archives ?>

    there are various conditional tags available: http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags

    Many thanks.

    I’ll study the references, reverting if I cannot work through to a solution.
