Theme 2012: How to Show Excerpt of Post on Home Page?

that is what the theme does by default – when you use the ‘more tag’ while writing or editing posts.

please post a link to your site if it is different for you.

before you start with editing any theme template files, create a child theme https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes

to get an automatic excerpt on the posts page, you need to edit content.php in the child theme, and change this line:

<?php if ( is_search() ) : // Only display Excerpts for Search ?>

to:

<?php if ( is_search() || is_home() ) : // Only display Excerpts for Search and Posts Page ?>

this is very helpful. how would you go about setting a thumbnail for the excerpt only, while showing the full size image in the post?

i have been trying to get this to work forEVER and have had no luck!

thanks for any help you can point me towards!
