Yay! I won’t argue with that. 🙂

Use a child theme. And if you already have one, just make a backup before the next edit so you can revert if anything goes wrong.

Can you tell me the best way to get the post the post excerpt rather than the entire post?
Copy content.php into your child theme.
Change this:
the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'isola' ) );
to this:
the_excerpt();
It won’t affect image and video post formats (as you can see if you look at the if statement closely.
And don’t be afraid to make changes with a child theme (and keep good backups). 🙂
Thanks a bunch:). I was avoiding creating a child theme–I know how, but I am lazy.
You are right, though. Sigh.
how do i get rid of the featured image in the content.php? thanks for any help.
mac.mcrae – since your question is unrelated to masonlau’s issue, I’ve replied the separate thread you already posted. Let’s continue the discussion there:
