Show summary of article

change <?php the_content{}; ?> to <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
in your archive.php / category.php

Hi,

You need to edit category.php file of your theme and inside the loop there will be a code like:

<?php the_content{}; ?>

Change this to:

<?php the_excerpt{}; ?>

Thanks,

Cool Thanks.

Is there a way so it still shows one picture from the post. I always had one picture at the top of each post, not they are gone.

Hi,

Try to add the picture as a thumbneil in the post and have a check with the summmary..however it is depends on theme configuration..

Thanks,

Shane G.

The standard way would be to use the php the_content again, and below your first text and top image put in a <morelink>
Another way that works in 2.7.1 (don’t know about 2.8) is using a plugin: the excerpt re-reloaded

and use this: <?php the_excerpt_rereloaded('14','---&raquo;&raquo;','<a><IMG>','plain'); ?>

14 is the number of words in the excerpt; <a> allows links and <IMG>; allows images. There are more choices.
