Headline section on post and front page

  • Hi!

    I’m new with WordPress, but i cannot find any information for my needs. So i started my blog, and I have front page with some posts. Each post have a title, headline and rest of article (lets call it body). When I finish writing my post, I saw on front page (or home page – sorry for my naming, I use wordpress in different language) that my post have title and under it some text which contains full headline and start of the body text. But this annyos me – I want people to see on front page only title and headline, no body, because body text starts with some centered text, and… It’s just don’t make sense when you see headline and body text collide.

    As I said, sorry for my non-perfect english, I just hope I wrote it clear!

  • What parts of the post shows is dependent on the theme you use. Some themes show the entire post and some show an excerpt. Some themes provide options for you to choose which to show and others provide an option to choose the length of the excerpt.

    If the theme shows the full post, the author can control what shows in the list by using the <!--more--> tag. Only the content before that tag is shown, (so if it isn’t used the whole thing is shown).

    If the theme shows an excerpt, the author can control what shows in the list by writing a manual excerpt for each post, which can include HTML tags and be whatever length desired. If there is no manual excerpt, the content is stripped of HTML tags and the default is the first 55 words to use as the excerpt.
