    I’d like to add my name to the chorus of praise for this fantastic theme. The only major issue I have with it is I don’t like my posts to be truncated at some arbitrary point based on word count. Would you consider adding the option to stop at the “more” tag instead of a number of words?

  • Hi William! Glad you like it.

    If you use a child theme, copy content.php from the main theme and then modify this:

    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

    To:

    <?php the_content(); ?>

    And you should be able to use the more link! Although I have no idea how the more link looks in this theme, as it hasn’t been styled.

    Thanks Alexander, that’s excellent advice! I didn’t know there was such a thing as a “child theme” so I’ll set about making one. I’ve actually implemented the “the_content()” thing already and it works (you have to do it in “featured.php” too, and add a filter to “the_content()” to prevent it from including images and make a slight CSS tweak for paragraph spacing, but basically it works quite well. I’ve made a handful of other tweaks here and there so I’ll port those to the child theme also.

    It really is a wonderful theme – so feature rich and so well designed, and works beautifully on mobile devices as well as the screen. Thank you so much for making it available!

    Thanks! ??

    Just a note: a sample child theme for Hueman is available for download in the Help dropdown in Theme Options. Should give you a start.
