How Do I limit the display of the posts on the index page?

  • hey guys.

    i’m looking to show only a ‘teaser’ of the blog post on the main page and have people click on the link in order to see the whole story…

  • change the_content to the_excerpt in index.php (Main template)

    Or on the Write Post screen, right above the box where you type in your post, there is a quicktag button called “more”. If you click that at the point where you want the text to “end” on the main page, it will and give you a read more link which you can customize.

    If you use the_excerpt() instead of the_content() in your index.php, and not use the “more” quicktag, the first 120 words of the post will appear on the main page by default.
