Greetings! My site’s blog is located here: http://www.expandinginward.com/blog/
I’m having some trouble figuring out how to display only a portion of the post instead of the full post on the blog page. This seems like it should be very simple, but for some reason I’m hitting a wall on it. Can you offer some guidance?
Jason,
Great question. One option is to use the More Tag which will let you decide at what point your posts will be cut off on the blog page with the rest appearing on the “single” view.
You can also make it so your posts display only an excerpt on the blog page instead of the full content. Here’s how to do that:
- Go to the Appearance section in your WordPress control panel and select Edit.
- From the list of files on your right, choose index.php and find this spot:
<?php the_content(__('Read more', 'organizedthemes'));?> - Replace that with this:
- Then save your changes.
I hope that helps out. Let me know if you have any trouble,
Bill
