How to show only a summary of each post?

  • Hi, can anyone tell me where in the wp control/admin panel I can find the option that will allow me to show only a summary of each post rather than the entire post?

    Thanks,
    Noah

  • You won’t find it as an admin option. It is a theme option.

    If you look at your theme’s index.php, look for the_content() in The_Loop. You could replace it with the_excerpt() instead.

    Or, you could just use the built-in <!--more--> feature that’s part of the editor and control exactly how much of the post to show.

    Can anyone please tell me how to do the following?:

    “Or, you could just use the built-in <!–more–> feature that’s part of the editor and control exactly how much of the post to show.”

    Thanks! Noah ??

    While on the Write Posts screen, see all those little buttons? Hover over each one for a tool-tip of what it does.
    One of ’em adds the more tag.
