Excerpt in Post

  • My Excerpt shows in the Post-Slideshow
    My Excerpt shows in the Post-Summary
    BUT: My Excerpt does not show in the Post itself.

    I have Installed the Plugin “Excerpts Editor” (It’s hard to believe I needed to).

    I have been reading for 2 days in the WordPress Forum and the Arras Theme Forum. Everybody is trying to do all kinds of things with Excerpts, except put them into the Post itself.

    I always thought that an “excerpt” was something that has been ecerpted from somewhere (my Post for example), and shows up in various other places, drawing your attention to my Post. But when you get to my Post, THE EXCERPT ISN’T THERE! It’s amazing how many .php codes and tricks people have to use.

    Sorry about my frustration, I am just hoping that someone will show me how “Supid” I am, and that I have missed some (it must be there) Option!

    Can anyone help Stupid me?

    What is there? A link to a page on your site demonstrating the problem might help.

    i think your problem is you don’t have the excerpt code inserted in the single-post.php or whatever your single post is called.

    I got it. Thanks for your comments, I was really hoping I had just missed an option somewhere.

    (If you care)
    I copied this line from template.php

    <div class=”entry-summary”><?php echo arras_strip_content(get_the_excerpt(), 20); ?></div>

    I pasted it into single.php (also changed 20 to 999)

    Anyone know how to put it into a Box / Frame?

    Also: From this line, how could I change the Font Size / Weight?

    you can go to the css file and add font-size: 12px or whatever size of font you want.
