The site I am developing has a static front page and I intend to have a menu option pointing at the Blog page. At the moment, the Blog page displays the full posts and I would really like it to just display a brief summary of each, with a ‘Read More’ option. I can’t find how to do this in Ephemeris, can somebody advise please?

Many thanks

Ian

I need some help. I’m using the Fashionista theme (of course) and I can’t figure out how to put more posts on one page as a summary (with first a title, than a photo and than the first 2 or 3 sentences of the post). So that you can click on continue reading and see the complete post.

Please help me.

The above code recently started to show up at the end of most of my blog entry summaries on my homepage. How do I correct? This template is no longer being updated by its developer.

my site is https://anthonyadornato.com

I believe that WP allows me to do “sticky” posts but thus far (and after two introductory books) I haven’t found out how these are achieved.

In respect of general posts I would ideally prefer to have summary posts but would like to have two exceptions as follows: –

1. To set a parameter which mantains new posts in full for X days, after which, unset the parameter.

2. To have a parameter which maintains “sticky” posts in full, not in summary, unsetting the parameter when “sticky” attribute is unset.

I’ve put this under the theme but I’m guessing the query will need to be elsewhere, but, as I haven’t yet found out how to create a “sticky” post I’m…….stuck?

www.eastcommunitytransport.co.uk is my first commercial WordPress site and I started it today.

Using this theme, I have two static pages (so far) and I’ve added a news category to navBar (my primary menu). At the time of writing, the news category has two posts.

In Settings|Reading the template has been set to show Summary posts (though I suspect that this may relate only to the Front page) but the posts in the News category are displayed in full.

Ideally, I would want such grouped posts to show the title and three or four lines enabling the user to “zoom” into a specific post. This would be my preferred solution for all but static pages as the site develops.

If anyone can guide me through this I will be obliged. I’n unafraid of tweaking the code if required but don’t know sufficient PHP to do it without careful guidance.

Thanks in anticipation.

I write a food blog: https://www.theroastedroot.net/ and I want to display the summaries of my blog posts the same way this blog does: https://www.perrysplate.com/. Can you please tell me which plugin she uses? I’ve seen many food blogs use this type of summary format, and I’d like to do the same. There’s also this site: https://www.eatliverun.com/. Any info about displaying excerpts of my most recent posts would be great.
thanks,

Julia

Any ideas?
