eco 1.1.1 No post excerpts or summaries !!!

  • I am using Eco 1.1.1 and its simple design is great. However, I am frustrated by the fact that it does not seem to support “excerpts”.

    Please look at this page

    Rather than just see the title and the date of each post I would like to see a line or two summarising its content.

    Is it possible to amend Eco to do this or should I look for another theme?

  • Try editing the relevant template files and replacing <?php the content();?> with <?php the_excerpt;?>.

    esmi, thanks for that. I have tried to find code using file manager in my cpanel but have not been successful. However I did find the code below. Does this throw any light on the issue?

    ),
    ‘pl_postexcerpts’ => array(
    ‘version’ => ‘pro’,
    ‘default’ => ‘blog’,
    ‘type’ => ‘radio’,
    ‘selectvalues’ => array(
    ‘blog’ => ‘Only on blog pages and search’,
    ‘single’=> ‘Only on single post pages’,
    ‘all’ => ‘All blog/post pages’,
    ‘hide’ => ‘Don\’t show’,
    ),
    ‘title’ => ‘Post Excerpt Placement’,
    ‘shortexp’ => ‘Where should the theme use post excerpts?’,
    ‘exp’ => ‘This option helps you control where post excerpts are displayed.

    About: Excerpts are small summaries of articles filled out when creating a post.’
    ),

    Sorry but that code is a bit meaningless out of context.

    I’m having the exact issue…category pages are not showing excerpts or full content!

    Here’s the page

    Further, there is no category.php or any such file to edit.

    When I switch the theme back to Twenty Ten, the category pages show excerpts properly. Definitely something wrong in Eco theme.

    Could this be the correct file to edit?

    _sub_head.php

    Problem solved by upgrading to Eco Pro.

    I use Eco free and it works fine, on the home page the full post or excerpt shows depending on <!--more--> tag. Is this what you mean? Maybe the answer is in the editor?
