Dont want to show the picture in the snippet

It sounds like your posts are using the_content() on the main page if they are displaying images as well but then again you say that it is already showing a snippet.

If you look at your theme’s index.php see if you can find either

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

<?php the_content(); ?>

the_excerpt wont show a picture on your main page and will only show the first 55 words of your post. On the other hand, the_content displays the full post along with images and everything.

Using the_excerpt will also create a Continue Reading link or something similar. Are you currently using the more tag to create snippets?

is there a way to do it without using excerpts? Yes im currently using the more tag look at it my blog is https://www.geldblogger.nl
thank you

Locate the “excerpt editor” plugin. With that one you can say what tags are allowed in excerpts and which aren’t.

I downloaded the plugin however excerpts dont seem to work?? When i replace the <?php the_content(); ?> with <?php the_excerpt(); ? in index.php the things i write in the excerpt actually show in the post itself but in the text editor i get the frontpage text and my layout is wrong. Anyone??

You don’t have to edit any files yourself when you use that plugin. the_content stays right where it is, but plugin does the rest. You might have to get used to using the plugin, but just follow the tabs from left to right and you’ll be able to do what you want. The “replace” function is the most important.

To show a better example of what im trying to accomplish;
