Can't make excerpts show on static front page Adamos theme

    The Adamos theme shows excerpts only in search results. This is set up in content.php.

    <?php if ( is_search() ) : // Only display Excerpts for Search ?>
	<div class="entry-summary">
		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
	</div><!-- .entry-summary -->

    So in my child theme’s content.php, I changed this to
    <?php if ( is_search() || is_home() || is_front_page() )

    While this did change full posts to excerpts for home (which is not the front page), it didn’t change the two posts on the static front page to excerpts.

    I also tried <?php if ( is_search() || is_home() || is_page_template( 'page_templates/custom_home.php' ) )

    That still didn’t give me excerpts on the static front page. I tried other options as well, but I’m having no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you.

    If you’re using Adamos’ custom home page template, it doesn’t call content.php, so editing that file won’t help. Instead, you should copy page-templates/custom_home.php to your child theme and change:

    <?php echo content(50); ?>

    to

    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

    You should also give it a different template name. Change:

    Template Name: Custom Home Page

    to

    Template Name: Child Custom Home Page
