Excerpt Problem

  • Hi, i’m having some sort of problem with my excerpts, or maybe i don’t understand them? Anyway i run a tutorial site over at https://www.bens-place.com. I want to post tutorials as news, however i want to link to the full article. I tried writing the tutorial as the story and putting something like “New tutorial here” in the excerpt but it didn’t work, it just printed the whole story.

    Is it possible to print just the excerpt in in index.php? Also is it possible to create a page that doesn’t generate a link on index.php?

    Cheers ??

  • You probably need to edit index.php and change <?php the_content(); ?> to <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

    I would double check your theme to see if you have single.php. If not, and it might be a good idea regardless, save index.php as home.php and make the changes there. That way you are assured to only have the excerpt on the home page.
