See: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_content" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_content</a> and <a href="http://www.tech-evangelist.com/2009/03/08/wordpress-more-quicktag/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tech-evangelist.com/2009/03/08/wordpress-more-quicktag/</a> for more details. </p> <p> Best regards,<br /> Peter </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/blog-overview-to-show-excerpts-instead-of-full-text#post-55866 Sat, 12 May 2012 18:28:28 +0000 rizsedek 55866@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>That didn't turn out right. Got the excerpt link thing here. <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Excerpt" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Excerpt</a></p> <p>(Have no idea how to do the box thingie for the codes.) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/blog-overview-to-show-excerpts-instead-of-full-text#post-55865 Sat, 12 May 2012 18:23:39 +0000 rizsedek 55865@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Solved it.</p> <p>1. Change loop-index.php<br /> Do what it says here: <a href="http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/blog-main-page-showing-the-entire-post" rel="nofollow">http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/blog-main-page-showing-the-entire-post</a><br /> Remember to copy everything from &lt;!--meta info--&gt; to &lt;!--end meta info--&gt;</p> <p>2. Open loop-page.php and save as loop-single.php<br /> Paste copied meta info after the &lt;/h1&gt; tag<br /> Change &lt;div class='entry-content'&gt; to &lt;div class='entry-content four_fifth'&gt;</p> <p>3. Change single.php<br /> from: get_template_part( 'includes/loop', 'index' );<br /> to: get_template_part( 'includes/loop', 'single' );</p> <p>4. Change function.php<br /> Copy &amp; paste somewhere:<br /> function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {<br /> global $post;<br /> return $output . '<a>ID) . '"&gt; Read More...</a>';<br /> }<br /> add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_read_more_link');</p> <p>Now my next question is: </p> <p>How do I make it so that instead of just the text "Read More...", it is a button like the blog shown in the theme preview? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/blog-overview-to-show-excerpts-instead-of-full-text#post-55852 Sat, 12 May 2012 10:48:29 +0000 rizsedek 55852@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>Good job on Broadscope!</p> <p>Can you tell me please, how do I get my Blog Overview page to show excerpts with a "Read More" button, instead of the whole post?</p> <p>I have tried<br /> - changing the settings of the "Blog" page template to "Blog Overview".<br /> - changing the Reading settings Wordpress to "Summary" instead of "Full text"</p> <p>Neither of these worked. I'm guessing it is something in the theme editor that I need to change, but have no idea what or how.</p> <p>Help please.
