Excerpts Not Showing Up

  • Hi,

    Well, i make a post, and once it is finished, i write an except. Once the post is published, everything is fine, except it doesn’t show the excerpt, it just shows the whole post. It does this with all the themes on my blog (including the default).

    Any Solutions?
    Thanks.

  • I have the same problem and just wish I could resolve it. Sorry I can’t help you. I can’t even help myself.

    I should also add, the excerpt shows up fine in the rss feed. The excerpt just doesn’t show up on the main blog page.

    is the template tag, the_excerpt, actually being used inside whatever theme file (index.php) is being called?

    Hi,

    In the index.php, i can see “the_content”. but i can’t see “the_excerpt”.

    I tried changing it about, and then the excerpt actually does show. But then the “Read more” link disappears. Hmmm… Not sure what’s going on there.

    the_excerpt is going to add the excerpt, which, is different than the “teaser” – which is the part of the post that comes before the ‘more’ tag. Excerpts don’t lead to ‘more’ tags; teasers do.

    It’s supposed to used in place of the content tag there Smair. It’s instead of the content.

    Hello Guys,

    I’m having the same problem, but unlike the OP my index.php file doesn’t sho the_content in there. This is all I see:

    <?php get_header(); ?>
	<?php
    while (have_posts()) : the_post();
    	include(dirname(__FILE__).'/post.php');
    endwhile;
    ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

    There’s nowhere to change “the_content” to “the_excerpt” so I’m stuck. Any help is greatly appreciated.
