Home page showing full post instead of an excerpt

  • Hi,

    I have recently created my first blog https://www.justrobotics.com
    If you look at my home page, it shows the whole article instead of an excerpt.

    I tried installing a plugin “Auto Excerpt everywhere”, but no luck.

    I am using BlogoLife theme.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanx & regards.

  • I would try…

    Appearance > Editor > Select content.php on right side.

    Find

    <div class="entry-content">
<?php if($post->post_excerpt == ''){
the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'wplook' ) );

    Change the_content to the_excerpt and save. There might be an easier way if the theme had theme settings to do this, not sure.

    But I would try this to see if it works.

    Thanx for your reply Aaron, but it’s still the same ??

    There is one funny thing, When I installed and activated the plugin “Auto Excerpt everywhere”, it seems to work as long as I am logged in. The moment I log out, it goes back to full post mode.

    Same is the case with your solution.

    Isn’t it strange?

    now another problem.
    home page has started showing exerpts, but
    1: Read More is just in plain text, not a hyperlink.
    2: no thumbnails of feature images

    and what made it took effect after a few hours?

    I am totally confused!

    The simplest method is to use More button.

    You can find the More Tag button in the first row of the visual editor toolbar or by pressing Alt+Shift+T:
