Hi @crozzler
At first, thank you for choosing our theme and service.
In the default setup of many themes, including Ashe, the blog excerpts on the front page or blog page might not display links or images. This is a common behavior designed to maintain a clean and consistent layout for the posts’ summaries.
If you wish to display links in your blog excerpts, you might need to consider a workaround:
- Custom Excerpts: Instead of letting WordPress automatically generate excerpts, you can create custom excerpts for your posts. In the post editor, there’s an Excerpt box where you can manually write a brief description that includes your links.
- Child Theme Customization: If you’re comfortable with a bit of coding, you can create a child theme and modify the way excerpts are displayed. This would involve editing the template files responsible for generating the excerpts.
- Use Full Posts: Alternatively, you could configure your front page or blog page to display full posts rather than excerpts. This way, the complete content of each post, including links, would be visible.
- Use a Plugin: There are plugins available that allow more customization of excerpts. One example is the “Advanced Excerpt” plugin. It might offer options to include links or images in the excerpts.
Please note that implementing these changes might require some familiarity with WordPress themes and coding.
Best regards
