New page and summary in home page

Use a second Loop to pull that page’s content into your home page?

thanks.

This can what I was looking for.
Looks complicated but I will try.

That was to much script for me.

Is there no good plugin for that?
There must be ??

Is there a plugin for that or not?
Please I know there is but I can’t find it.

I only need a plugin that makes a short summary on the “home” page from a page that I created.

I now created a new page. I want now to add a summary/teaser on my “home/first” page of my site. DO i need to create this manually? Or is there a plugin or feature that can make this summary show on the home page?

why don’t you just use posts instead of pages? Then show the excerpt instead of the full content when running the loop.

I heard about loop. But I don’t know what it is.

To use this loop feature I need to know some programming?

Edit the relevant file in your theme. It might be index.php or loop.php.

Thanks for that fonglh.

But this is totally out of my mind. I will never manage to make this change with codes.
I am looking at this, but don’t understand this att all.
For example. A loop start here and ends here???????? Should I input this code or should I search for it to make some changes?

Why isn’t this already in WP as standard.

Thanks anyway for trying to help me. But I will not go that deep, I know that I will make something wrong and make a real mess with my site.

For example. A loop start here and ends here????????

If you want to write a new one, you input the code. If you want to modify something, you search for it to make changes.

Why isn’t this already in WP as standard.

It is, but you need a theme which supports it.

You could try using a page template.
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates

1. Copy index.php from your theme and name it something like summary.php

2. In summary.php, add a template name like it says on the codex page, then replace the_content() with the_excerpt()

3. From the dashboard, create a new page, give it a title, leave the content field blank, and set the page template to the summary template you just created. There should be a drop down box for this. If not, it might be hidden under screen options on the top right.

4. If your index.php file has no references to the_excerpt(), look for the get_template_part() function, which pulls code from another file. If so, copy that loop file and modify it instead. See the examples here.

Since you always COPY the files, you won’t make a mess of your site. If it goes wrong, just delete the copies you’ve made and remove the created page using the dashboard.

If you’re really worried, backup the site before starting.

I have copied index.php and made a file summary.php in that file this is what I found. There where no the_content() or get_template_part()

<?php
/**
* Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn’t do anything, but loads
* wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
*
* @package WordPress
*/

/**
* Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
*
* @var bool
*/
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?>

not this one, the one in your themes folder.

under wp-content/themes/<theme name>

ok I found this.

This is code is show on the top of summary.php

<?php
 /* Mystique/digitalnature */
 get_header();
?>
  <!-- main content: primary + sidebar(s) -->
  <div id="main">
   <div id="main-inside" class="clearfix">
    <!-- primary content -->
    <div id="primary-content">
      <?php

Should I now on the top add this to?

<?php
/*
Template Name: Snarfer
*/
?>

I am really bad on this. Can some one help me with this?

What if I can send over a file that should be edited and someone that is good in this can make this change for me?

I will in return give a add space on one of my sites that have about 10.000 visitors a day and almost all of them comes form US and Canada.
