Post on a page

You can use excerpt_more filter to display read more link.

Go to wp-content / themes / yourtheme / page.php

Find the_post or it may say the_content — it may look something like this:

<div id="primary" class="site-content">
	<div id="content" role="main">
		<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

Change the_post to the_excerpt

Do the same for category.php and archives.php if you’d like.

Thanks Jason. I am converting the html to wordpress. CAn the button have a hover from post image insert.

We should not Change the_post to the_excerpt. the_post is required to iterate in post loop. instead you should use the_content or the_expert function in loop along with the_post to display multiple posts.

Yes, on page.php change the_content to the_excerpt ….

And yes, you can use various hover effects on your page.php …

Thank you Jason and Vinod. I used sidebar widgets to display the posts on page and linked it to the post id. I am able to customize text displayed on each post on the page.
