    Hi all,

    Just wondering if anyone can help with the following issue I am having with a wordpress website that I administer.

    The website is temporarily being hosted at the following url

    http://www.wffc.grdesign.info

    my issue is that I cannot see how to get the posts to only show a proportion or summary on the main homepage, as you can see they are showing in full. I have checked using the dashboard options but none of the options there are affecting how it works so I am guessing that it is more of a code based change that needs making.

    currently running wordpress 3.0.

    thanks for any help you can lend.

    GR

    It’s a template thing. You need to edit the index.php template file in your theme and change <?php the_content();?> to <?php the_excerpt();?>.

    Esmi,

    many thanks for the super fast response….very helpful

    I have had a look at the index file as you suggested but could not locate the code you mentioned, I have included the index code in here to show you what I am looking at:

    is it not there or have I just missed it?

    Esmi,

    update:

    using the info you gave me I have managed to get a summary to show up instead of the whole post which is great…..is there a way to have a ‘read more’ link or button to feature at the bottom of the summary?

    regards

    No problem Add something like:;
    <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>#more-<?php echo $post->ID;?>"><?php _e('Continue reading ');the_title();?></a>

    just after <?php the_excerpt();?>
