Fixed it. I made a new template file in the child theme called the excerpt.php. Copied the entire content.php but change the_content to the_excerpt. Then I just changed the child index.php to say ‘excerpt’ instead of ‘content’ in the get_the_template function.

Basically, the key here was just making that excerpt.php and then plugging it into the index.

Ps. Formatting issues followed after I did this, but i’ve fixed them all now ??

So I found out that if I upload the content.php and change the the_content, to the_excerpt, i’ll get an excerpt, BUT it posts the excerpt only. As in.. when I click on the post I only see the excerpt.

The second line of code below is where I replaced the_content with the_excerpt.

<div class="entry-content">
		<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'suits' ) ); ?>
		<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-links"><span class="page-links-title">' . __( 'Pages:', 'suits' ) . '</span>', 'after' =>

Obviously… this isn’t the right class to change, in fact i’m wondering if I need to make a completely new one? This is as close as i’ve gotten though with all my messing around.

Thank you for your help, had the person in IST go in and make the changes. The images are uploading now.

I got really excited that that might work, but it didn’t ?? Also the site doesn’t have any plugins.

I had the schools theme up… actually the school updated to wordpress 3.8 at some point last year and the site defaulted suddenly to the schools theme. No one was around to take care of the site when the update happen.

Thinking maybe something went wrong when that update occurred.

No, the server is managed by the IST department in my faculty.

Technically, it’s a sub site. I’ve read that the problem could lie in the uploads folder. I’m wondering if there are any other places this problem might coming from? Since I don’t have access to the server, I want to make sure I’ve throughly vetted everything on my end before asking for help.

I’m getting the feeling it’s probably out of my hands though!
