    Hi, i am WP-beginner and i have quite a problem with my wordpress. If i publish an article, it displays on the main page with other articles. But I have no idea, what should I do to have only “refferences to the articles” on the main page. For example only short parts of the article with one photo.

    my page is https://aarfy.own.cz

    Do I need some plugin?
    thank you very much for responds.

  • Well, you could use the excerpt, but that won’t show any photos until you get into the actual article. If you’re okay with that, here’s how you do it:

    1. Open up the index.php file from your active theme folder.
    2. Look for the_content inside the loop.
    3. Change it to the_excerpt.
    4. Save and reupload the file.

    thak you, I did it and it works, but there is another problem now. The main page is all right now (I can see only short parts of articles – that′s ok), but if I choose one article and click on it, I can still see only the short part. Not the rest of the article…is there any solution, pls?

    You need m ore template files in that theme. PLease, read about the Template Hierarchy to understand how the different templates are used.

    Hint: you will need a single.php template file.

    i created: single.php with “content” and index.php with “excerpt” and it works perfectly. Thank you both very much.

    Great – thanks moshu for that – I didn’t even think to check the theme files.

    Aarfy – mind marking this thread as “resolved” so others might benefit from knowing their question has a solution? Thanks for posting back that it worked for you!
