Hi
The settings/reading setting is for feeds, not posts on the site itself.
The easiest way for you to get summaries when you only have 3 posts is to use the MORE tag in the WP editor, on those posts. Open one in the editor and position the cursor where you’d like the summary to stop. One of the top row editor buttons is the More tag – point at them and you will see the titles appear after a second or two. Click the more tag and update the post. refresh your posts page and you should see the post summarized.
Its possible to make it automatic for all posts by changing code, but unless you are comfortable around code this is a lot easier, given you have only a few posts
Hi,
I see here an answer to the same problem I have. But, I have lots of posts and they are all shown with FULL content, which is impossible.
I need EVERY post to show in summary and then have option “read more” under it.
It all worked well with my former theme, but now I have better and more professional and flexible theme.. And this feature doesn’t work.
Please, I read there is a code to fix it. Can someone kindly tell me how?
I am technically impossible, freely admitting that, but handled “many impossibles “
already, so hopefully conquer this one also.
Thank so much..
Regards, maya
Hi did you find an answer? I am running into the same problem?
Please help if you can.
Thanks.
Can anyone tell me how you could place all of your posts on the same page in a half summary format rather than just 1 post in a half summary?
@ironman27
in admin-> settings-> reading you can tell WP how many posts to show on the page
@everyone else
in index.php in your theme look for something like:
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
And change it to:
<?php the_excerpt('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
Rev Voodoo – thanks for this fix! It works so well!
The only problem is that no where does it even say “read more” – Any idea how I can show this?
