Modifying CSS Categories to show Excerpts

That won’t be CSS. It will be PHP. Try editing the relevant template file and replacing <?php the_content();?> with <?php the_excerpt();?>. If you don’t know which file to edit, have a look at Theme Development.

Hi there,
This is the category PHP template which part of this code do l edit,

get_header(); ?>

<section id="primary" class="span8">

    <?php tha_content_before(); ?>
    <div id="content" role="main">
        <?php tha_content_top();

        if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

            <header class="page-header">
                <h1 class="page-title"><?php
                    printf( __( 'Category Archives: %s', 'the-bootstrap' ), '<span>' . single_cat_title( '', false ) . '</span>' );
                ?></h1>

                <?php if ( $category_description = category_description() ) {
                    echo apply_filters( 'category_archive_meta', '<div class="category-archive-meta">' . $category_description . '</div>' );
                } ?>
            </header><!-- .page-header -->

            <?php
            while ( have_posts() ) {
                the_post();
                get_template_part( '/partials/content', get_post_format() );
            }
            the_bootstrap_content_nav();
        else :
            get_template_part( '/partials/content', 'not-found' );
        endif;

        tha_content_bottom(); ?>
    </div><!-- #content -->
    <?php tha_content_after(); ?>
</section><!-- #primary -->

<?php
get_sidebar();
get_footer();

Really appreciate your help.

Dave

Replace <?php the_excerpt(); ?> with <?php the_content(); ?>.

Hi esmi,
thank you very much job done.

Cheers

Hi esmi,
I am trying to fix my excerpts option in 3.4.2. I looked at all the above information, but don’t see which file in the c-panel this code is contained.
BTW, I got the RSS fixed! Thanks!

done

did you intend the “done” post for me, luynchd57, or for esmi?

It was just l am finished with the post. if your directing that questions towards me and my problem, mine was in the bootstrap theme and l was having trouble with categories showing full posts instead of excerpts. I found the file its was under edit content php file this the part of the file you have to change to excerpt, you can see where l put excerpts in.

<?php endif;
the_excerpt( __( ‘Continue reading <span class=”meta-nav”>→</span>’, ‘the-bootstrap’ ) );
the_bootstrap_link_pages(); ?>
</div><!– .entry-excerpt –>
<?php endif; ?>

goodluck
lynchd57

Thanks, lynchD57.
My issue wasn’t exactly what yours was (I don’t know what a “bootstrap” is), but it lead me to use some different keywords in my search in the forum. Woo-hoo! Now it works. Thanks so much!
