Summarized/Excerpted posts on Home Page?

    On my front page, it lists all posts from most to least recent. But is shows the whole text of the post (some of which are very long) before getting to the next one. How do I make it show just the first few paragraphs? That way someone can browse through the “previews” essentially to see more posts at once and see what appeals to them. On each post, I do have “excepts” enabled and filled out (correctly as far as I know). Any other tips?

    Thank you!

    Hi DommeLuck,

    As default, Hemingway displays the full post content in archives whether an excerpt has been entered or not. You can either manually insert a read more tag in each post, or edit the template files to display the post excerpt instead.

    If you go for the second solution, you’ll need to open content.php, find line 65-67 and replace those with <?php the_excerpt(); ?>. Note that if you make the changes directly in Hemingway, the changes will reset if/when you update the theme. I’d recommend you to make the changes in a child theme if you want to keep them.

    Hope it helps.
