Won't show 'summary' only 'full post' on home page posts

Cheers Verma for the link I was looking to do this myself and it works. Also lots of other help on the site.

Took a while to see what code I needed. Reading through I found that I needed to change “content.php” from this:

<div class="entry-content">
		<?php
			/* translators: %s: Name of current post */
			the_content( sprintf(
				__( 'Continue reading %s', 'twentyfifteen' ),
				the_title( '<span class="screen-reader-text">', '</span>', false )
			) );

			wp_link_pages( array(
				'before'      => '<div class="page-links"><span class="page-links-title">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyfifteen' ) . '</span>',
				'after'       => '</div>',
				'link_before' => '<span>',
				'link_after'  => '</span>',
				'pagelink'    => '<span class="screen-reader-text">' . __( 'Page', 'twentyfifteen' ) . ' </span>%',
				'separator'   => '<span class="screen-reader-text">, </span>',
			) );
		?>
	</div><!-- .entry-content -->

to this:

<div class="entry-content">
		<?php
		if ( is_single() ) :
			/* translators: %s: Name of current post */
			the_content( sprintf(
				__( 'Continue reading %s', 'twentyfifteen' ),
				the_title( '<span class="screen-reader-text">', '</span>', false )
			) );

			wp_link_pages( array(
				'before'      => '<div class="page-links"><span class="page-links-title">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyfifteen' ) . '</span>',
				'after'       => '</div>',
				'link_before' => '<span>',
				'link_after'  => '</span>',
				'pagelink'    => '<span class="screen-reader-text">' . __( 'Page', 'twentyfifteen' ) . ' </span>%',
				'separator'   => '<span class="screen-reader-text">, </span>',
			) );
			else :

			/* translators: %s: Name of current post */
			the_excerpt( sprintf(
				__( 'Continue reading %s', 'twentyfifteen' ),
				the_title( '<span class="screen-reader-text">', '</span>', false )
			) );

			wp_link_pages( array(
				'before'      => '<div class="page-links"><span class="page-links-title">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyfifteen' ) . '</span>',
				'after'       => '</div>',
				'link_before' => '<span>',
				'link_after'  => '</span>',
				'pagelink'    => '<span class="screen-reader-text">' . __( 'Page', 'twentyfifteen' ) . ' </span>%',
				'separator'   => '<span class="screen-reader-text">, </span>',
			) );
			endif;
		?>
	</div><!-- .entry-content -->

I used it but the first image not showing up just text, how to make it appear?

I am using the code you shared above and it works great…EXCEPT if I have created a manual excerpt, in which case the ‘continue reading’ link doesn’t show. Any idea how I can get it to work for posts with and without manual excerpts?

Thank a million Just Ard.

Its working. 🙂

I also prefer to have a short summary on my front page, and was using the code posted by Just Ard above, which worked beautifully. That changed with the latest update of Twenty Fifteen (1.3). After the update was installed, I tried to use the same code in my content.php, but it no longer works, for some reason. I’m wondering if the new version of content.php won’t allow this alteration.

I’ve also tried the fix suggested by Terkeljc, but this also had no effect. Does anybody know how to tweak the code for Twenty Fifteen v. 1.3?

This is how it looks in my file.. i recommend outcommenting the old line. then you can allways change back

// Start the loop.
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

/*
* Include the Post-Format-specific template for the content.
* If you want to override this in a child theme, then include a file
* called content-___.php (where ___ is the Post Format name) and that will be used instead.
 */

get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); /*THIS LINES MAKES YOU SHOW WHOLE POST ON BLOG PAGE INSTEAD OF SUMMARY*/

get_template_part( 'content-search', get_post_format() ); /*THIS LINES MAKES YOU SHOW A SUMMARY POST ON THE BLOG PAGE INSTEAD OF THE WHOLE POST */

// End the loop.

Oh… I’m not so stupid, I’ve answer my own question. This is exactly the same code but on another file. Here’s what I’ve done.
1/ Save the archive.php on my computer
2/ Put it on “UTF-8 without BOM” (don’t know if it’s the same name in english, using the pad put it on ANSI instead)
3/ Find the code
get_template_part( ‘content’, get_post_format() );
4/ Replace it with
get_template_part( ‘content-search’, get_post_format() ); /*THIS LINES MAKES YOU SHOW A SUMMARY POST ON THE CATEGORY PAGE INSTEAD OF THE WHOLE POST */
5/ Save the file as category.php
6/ Put it in my child theme directory
7/ Enjoy 🙂

So it’s okay, this solution can work for different things. WordPress created something very cool with template hierarchy (see here : https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/ )
