How can I change it so the posts featured on the homepage only show a summary? In setting - reading, I've set 'for each article in a feed, show' and selected 'summary.' I realise that's not necessarily the setting that will control this but cannot see any other setting that would even possibly address this issue.
Homepage is showing the full blog post of each post

Hey,
you can use the read more tag/shortcode: http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More to create the excerpts.Posted 1 year ago # -

MemberThanks Dude,
On that page you point me to it advises that I add this code to the functions.php folder:
// Puts link in excerpts more tag
function new_excerpt_more($more) {
global $post;
return 'ID) . '"> Read the full article...';
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');I've tried doing that but nothing changes on the homepage. Here is the functions.php code with the above code included. Am I putting it in the wrong place?
<?php
global $k_option;load_theme_textdomain('habitat');
add_custom_background();

Hi,
I usually paste codes like this at the bottom of the functions.php file. It should function as per the link Dude provided.

MemberThanks Chris
I applied the change you suggested and put the following code in but still no change on the frontend. Any other suggestions? I think I'm just going to have to bin this theme and get a refund because I can't waste anymore time trying to sort fundamental problems - especially when all the pre-sales explained how easy it was and all the support that followed, which to my mind hasn't materialised. Thanks for your help thought Chris as I realise you're not the developer:

You don't need to add any code - just use the more tag (standard wordpress shortcode/tag) in your text. It works like:
and I told him that he should get moving or I'd be on him like a limpet. He looked at me with shock on his face and said <!--more--> more text goes here.... more text goes here.... more text goes here....WP will display:
and I told him that he should get moving or I'd be on him like a limpet. He looked at me with shock on his face and saidas excerpt and when the user views the single post he will see the entire text. If you use the "html" view editor you'll find the more tag icon in the kitchen sink.

I need to pick up this thread. I'm faced with the same issue; my portfolio posts are showing up in their entirety on my homepage and my portfolio page. I've tried to truncate them with the WP More Tag in both Visual and HTML mode with no effect.
Within the theme there seems to be a More Tag embedded at the end of each Portfolio post. It's invisible to me from the backend but evident to all from the front. ( jberickson.com ) Problem is, the teaser shows up at the end of the post; it takes up prime real estate on my home page and doesn't send my reader to anywhere they haven't just read.
I'm no coder but I've been successful getting the theme 99% of the way home. I need to know how to address this last piece.
Any current thoughts?

I put the teaser in the excerpts box and posted my complete text in the post and it worked like a charm. :)

Good to hear. Is everything solved now?
