Showing excerpts on front page

  • Hi guys

    I recently re-installed wordpress on my website and started using it again. I would like the frontpage to only show resumés of my posts and have people press on the story in order to read it fully, but I can’t get it to work with the settings page. At the monemt, I have two posts and I have done the following:

    • 1. I log into the admin panel of the blog site
    • 2. I press settings on the right side and then I selec “Reading” on the menu at the top of the window.
    • 3. I check the box where it says show resumé instead of showng the whole text.

      • This dosent do anything though, I still see the whole two posts on the front page. Then I tried in the posts themselves, addind the “read more” line to the post. It cuts the post where I want i to, but clicking on the link only seems to refresh the current page and not show the whole post as it was meant to.

      Any suggestions?

    Huh? There’s nothing like that in your settings. You can choose to have the *feed* show a full text or a summary, but that has nothing to do with how things are displayed on your blog.

    Are you talking about showing excerpts? You can either change your index.php file from the_content(); to the_excerpt();, or just use the <!–more–> tag when you write your posts to have people continue from a point you designate.

    Sorry, resumé is me translating from the danish installation of wordpress, it was the excerpts I meant.

    But as I wrote, the more tag dosent seem to work, ill try editing the php file for the front page though.
