Trying to show only the excerpt rather than full post on Yoko

  • Hi everyone!

    I’ve been doing my best to go through all of the previous forum posts to find a solution but I’m stuck. Please help me understand what to change in the Yoko theme in order to show only excerpts on the main blog page rather than the full post.

    Here’s what I have in the index.php

    <?php
/**
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Yoko
 */

get_header(); ?>

<div id="wrap">
<div id="main">
	<div id="content">
	<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
				<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

				<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>

				<?php endwhile; ?>

				<?php /* Display navigation to next/previous pages when applicable */ ?>
				<?php if (  $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?>
					<nav id="nav-below">
						<div class="nav-previous"><?php next_posts_link( __( '<span class="meta-nav">←</span> Older posts', 'yoko' ) ); ?></div>
						<div class="nav-next"><?php previous_posts_link( __( 'Newer posts <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'yoko' ) ); ?></div>
					</nav><!-- end nav-below -->
				<?php endif; ?>
	</div><!-- end content -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

    Thank you!!

  • It isn’t in this file.

    <?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>

    That means it is in another template file. Look for a content template and find the_content and change to the_excerpt.

    Have same question bus using Twenty Ten. The closest template section I could find was the following from the Stylesheet:

    /* =Content
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

#main {
	clear: both;
	overflow: hidden;
	padding: 40px 0 0 0;
}

    Hi Aaron!

    Thanks for your reply. What is the string I’m looking for. I do not know coding so I’m unsure what you’re suggesting.

    Thank you again!
    Sheen

    Try this.

    Appearance -> Editor

    On the right side select content.php

    Find

    <?php the_content( __( 'Continue Reading &rarr;', 'yoko' ) ); ?>

    replace with

    <?php the_excerpt( ); ?>
