Thanks Esmi, I used this to create the excerpts in the home page, but when I click on read more it picks up a template I created (when I thought I would convert the whole site). Where is the setting to change what template the hyperlink goes to?
The theme is applied globally to all pages/posts in your WP install. The actual template file used for single posts is single.php.
Can I change it to an existing php page on my website?
In theory – if you edited the Loop in your original post listing page and changed the post url.
Thank you for patience. I have been huffing and puffing at this for hours, so I’m not sure if I don’t get it or whether I am explaining it badly.
So, I have a WP installation in a folder on the root of the existing website with some posts on it.
I have included code used in Integrating_Wordpress_with_Your_Website to show excerpts of the posts on the original websites home page.
When I click on the read more hyperlink the full post comes up, but in a WP template. but I want it to appear on an existing php on the website.
A) can this be done and B) how do you do it?
Thanks
No – that can’t be done as far as I am aware.
Thanks Esmi
I am a bit new to this and unsure of it’s limits, but now i can explore a different approach.
