    Hi there. Really love Editor. Really well coded and flexible. I created a child theme and have it pretty much locked in. The only issue right now is that I can’t get the archives/categories to show summaries rather than the full post. I’ve set it correctly in “Settings > Reading”, and I haven’t changed anything on the archive page at all.

    I uploaded the child theme to github: https://github.com/mathetos/smetcalfe

    And you can see the Blog archive live here:

    Thanks in advance!

  • Hey there, the setting under Settings > Reading actually controls the RSS feed and not the archive pages on the front end of the site. That’s a common misunderstanding, as it’s not labeled clearly enough.

    In content.php you need to change <?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading →', 'editor' ) ); ?> to:

    <?php
if( is_singular() ) {
	the_content( __( 'Continue reading →', 'editor' ) );
} else {
	the_excerpt();
} ?>
