Thank you Steve, but I don’t see my question addressed in either of these links.
But maybe i’m missing it.

I know how to add an excerpt to a post.
What I’m trying to do is to make the excerpt function as a link to the post.
So that one can click the excerpt and go to the post.
By default, the link to the post is the post title.

Any tips on how to make the excerpt into a link?

thanks

but i haven’t touched my category template php (there is no category.php in this theme), so i don’t think that could be the problem. i’ve tried disabling all the plug-ins, deleting categories and then recreating them. nothing works.

awesome!
thanks!

thanks!

where in functions.php should i paste

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' )

?

(i just tried it and got an error.)

and, where in category.php do i replace the_content() with the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail')?

here’s the loop in my category.php:

<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
				<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

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

				<?php endwhile; ?>

…can’t find the_content ……….

by featured image, do you mean excerpt?
(it would be great if i could select a thumbnail for the category page that was NOT the first image in the post.)

here’s a site that displays a category page in the way i want:
https://www.sulki-min.com/wp/?cat=15

so i’m wondering how to edit my category.php to get this layout….

thanks again

thanks —!
this more or less pointed me in the right direction.
i had an unclosed quote on the entry title tag in the content.php page.

here’s the html:

<h1 class=”entry-title”>OoRS in Amsterdam</h1>

the tag is closed here, no?

hey thanks! this works. i just had to find class that my theme was applying to the images…
