That category archive page shows all the posts in that category. But the problem is that all the posts are shown fully (full content), not like a summary or an Excerpts with the link or a "read more.." link to the full post, as it should be.</p> <p>It's really anoying because when all the posts are shown you have to scroll endlessly to get to the bottom.</p> <p>Can you please help me out.</p> <p>Tnx, Regards<br /> Miro </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/blog-page-has-no-options-for-read-more-link-excerpt#post-93338 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 04:04:18 +0000 russells3 93338@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Ok thanks that worked :-) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/blog-page-has-no-options-for-read-more-link-excerpt#post-93194 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 11:18:35 +0000 Ismael 93194@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi Russ,</p> <p>Inside the content of the posts, try to add this code:<br /> <code>&lt;!--more--&gt;</code><br /> This is how to use it:<br /> <pre><code>First paragraph.... &lt;!--more--&gt; Second paragraph...</code></pre> <p>This way, the content will be cut and a read more link will appear (plus you can control where the content will be cut).

Is that possible or would I have to move my posts to be portfolio items to achive this? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/excerpts-in-archive-not-working-and-ques-about-getting-rid-of-left-column#post-67204 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 17:55:17 +0000 Devin 67204@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi jshapan,</p> <p>You'll need to make use of the &lt;!--more--&gt; tag in your posts to tell Wordpress where to break up the content when showing Archive pages. This way they only show part of the post unless on the actual single post page.</p> <p>In order to change the layout of the post style pages, you'll need to edit the templates to use a different css layout. Each of the post types has their own template in the includes folder with the structure: fromat-*posttype*.php. </p> <p>So for the normal post style, you would edit format-standard.php. The most simple route would be to remove the meta data all together and then expand the content container to use nine units instead of the current six. If you aren't comfortable with modifying css/html/php I would recommend looking into a freelance web developer. It should only take a few hours to get it customized exactly as you would like.</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Devin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/excerpts-in-archive-not-working-and-ques-about-getting-rid-of-left-column#post-66266 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 04:51:18 +0000 jshapan 66266@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>How do I get only excerpts to show on archive pages - it has full content only.
