I have used Eunoia template builder to setup the home page and want to have the blog showing 3 most recent posts but only in summary format not the full post. The options don't allow me to do this. What is the solution? Please help!

ModeratorHey Jay,
No it doesn't by default but you can change the file to do that if you'd like. You'll need to open includes>loop-index.php and search for:
$current_post['content'] = get_the_content(__('Read more','avia_framework').'<span class="more-link-arrow">
replace it with:
$current_post['content'] = get_the_excerpt(__('Read more','avia_framework').'<span class="more-link-arrow">and save the file back on the server. Now the blog overview page will use the excerpt instead.
Regards,
Devin

Afaik the get_the_excerpt function won't add a read more link automatically. You can try following code though:
if (is_single()){ $current_post['content'] = get_the_content(); }else{ $current_post['content'] = get_the_excerpt(); } $current_post['content'] .= '<a href="'. get_permalink() .'" rel="bookmark" title="' . __('Permanent Link:','avia_framework').' '. get_the_title() .'"><span class="more-link-arrow">Read more</span></a>';Posted 6 months ago # -

MemberSorry better English is probably required...
The code at the top of this page grabs the excerpt text - which is exactly what I want, for the front page of a blog or category listing.
Your latest code adds the Read More text to the end of that - which is also great!
BUT
when I hit the read more link it only shows the excerpt text not the whole post.
