How do I show an excerpt of a post?

  • Is there a plugin that will make WordPress do what I’ve seen on ExpressionEngine sites – show only the excerpt of the post with a “There’s more, keep reading” link at the bottom that opens up the whole post.

  • Experiment with <!–more–> and <!–nextpage–> comments that can be inserted into a post by clicking the “more” and “nextpage” buttons on the “Write” page. I believe they offer the kind of thing you are looking for …

    Best, D

    change your loop to call the_excerpt instead of the_content and then add a link below it to the permalink, to do that, just copi the code that shows the tiles as a link and change the_title to what you want your link to display…

    this will add this behavior to ALL posts however
