   Get wp-comments.php template ?> </div> <?php endforeach; else: ?> <p><?php _e('
   Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p> <?php endif; ?> <p align="center"

 * something like
 * `<?php the_content(); ?>`
 * replace that with
 * `<?php the_excerpt(); ?>`
 * If still don’t get it, post the content of `post.php` here: [http://paste.paste.uni.cc/](http://paste.paste.uni.cc/)

 * Wrong post.php, I think. It would be in your `wp-content/themes/` hierarchy, 
   not in `wp-admin`.
