    Hello everyone,

    I’m trying to make pages with certain gategories to structure my posts. But if I just put a categry in my menu, the page shows full posts. I want it to show my posts in the same way they appear on the homepage. Just a little preview…

    How do I do that? I don’t really like editting code, so I prefer plugins!

    Sincerely,
    Cyranh

    Create a file in your theme directory that copies the code from the front page to

    category.php (all categories) or category-(slug).php (a certain category)

    Hey Charles, Thanks for responding!

    Can you tell me how to do that in a few simple steps? I’m not much of a WordPress expert you see

    That modification is not something that is a few simple steps depending on your theme.

    If you have a “home.php” in your theme make a copy and name it category.php (all categories) or category-(slug).php (a certain category) if that works then your good.

    If not try coping your themes archive.php or index.php and look in the code for “the_content” and change it to “the_excerpt”. if that does not work then it is a more advanced code change.

    Well I don’t have any of that, so I guess I’ll have to find another way then.

    Thanks for you answers though Charles, I really appreciate the effort!
