    Hi, I created a new web and I don’t see anywhere the option to have the post organized, what I mean is, when I create a post, I don’t want to show it completely in the first page, only a portion of it because it looks too big on the index. How can I do that?

    To see exactly what I mean, this is the web: https://elkepon.co.nf/

    Thank you

  • Without looking at the code, you most likely will have to switch out the_content(); for the_excerpt(); https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/the_excerpt

    Make sure that you create a child theme first so you don’t lose your custom code if you update the theme. https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes

    Hi graphical_force, thanks for helping me. I’m looking for something like this: https://dosomethingcool.net/ . I want the posts like that, is there anyway that I can get it like that by just changing the theme?

    Yes, and the answer was in the response I already gave you. https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/the_excerpt

    Thank you, but how would I do it? Ay the end of the post I put this?

    function new_excerpt_more( $more ) {
    return ‘ Read More‘;
    }
    add_filter( ‘excerpt_more’, ‘new_excerpt_more’ );

    Can you post the code from your theme where you would like it changed?

    Sorry, my skills are limited in this area. I want to change it only in the index page, where the posts are, nothing else.

    I don’t know where is the code, do you mean this?

    No that is not it. That is the css file. Most likely it is in this file: content.php

    I’ve not installed this myself to test so you may need to experiment with it.

    You can customize the WordPress read more or use a plugin.

    Thanks kmessinger, I’ll read everything.

    graphical this is the code in content.php

    <?php
    /**
     * @package Kirumo
     */
    ?>
    
    <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
    	<header class="entry-header">
    		<h1 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
    	</header><!-- .entry-header -->
    	<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
    		the_post_thumbnail( 'large' );
    	} ?>
    
    	<?php if ( is_search() ) : // Only display Excerpts for Search ?>
    	<div class="entry-summary">
    		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
    	</div><!-- .entry-summary -->
    	<?php else : ?>
    	<div class="entry-content">
    		<span class="genericon genericon-standard post-format-icon"></span><div class="post-format-content"><?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="genericon genericon-next"></span>', 'kirumo' ) ); ?></div>
    
    		<?php
    			wp_link_pages( array(
    				'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'kirumo' ),
    				'after'  => '</div>',
    			) );
    		?>
    	</div><!-- .entry-content -->
    	<?php endif; ?>
    
    	<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'footer' ); ?>
    </article><!-- #post-## -->

    Go ahead and apply some of the information in the link provided with this code and see if you achieve your goals.

    I’ve been trying to insert these codes:

    function new_excerpt_more( $more ) {
    	return '[.....]';
    }
    add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more' 200);

    or

    function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
    	return 20;
    }
    add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );

    at the end of function.php but it doesn’t do anything…

    All that code does is change the length of the excerpt. You need to concentrate on where you call the code.

    In this case if you want to show the excerpt you need to have the_excerpt(); in the code instead of the_content();. Now look at the code that you posted and see where you may be able to do that at and see what results you get.
