How to activate excerpts?

    Hello,
    I’m using Button 2 theme: by default, it displays full posts on the frontpage.

    I’d wish to have it display just a short excerpt (the first few lines) of a post and then let you “continue reading” by clicking a link.

    The last post of this closed thread implies there should be an option to activate this feature but I can’t seem to find it: all I see by clicking Appearance/Customize/Homepage Settings (where I think such an option should be located) is to either display my latest posts or a static page on the homepage.

    Any help?

  • Hi there,

    That thread is referring to the Content Options feature that is added to this theme by the Jetpack plugin.

    If you want to make use of this feature, you’ll need to install the Jetpack plugin on your site and connect it to a WordPress.com account.

    https://jetpack.com/support/content-options/

    This will add a separate Content Options section to the Customizer. You cannot control this from the Homepage Settings section.
