post excerpts / summary

[Brett]

Hello, I have searched and found some info on this problem but it’s several years old so I want to make sure I’m supposed to edit functions.php for this.

I have blog posts set to display on the homepage, under the slider.

Problem is, even when I set the posts to summary vs full text in wordpress reading options, the posts STILL show as full text. Some posts are very long and I need to only show a summary.

Please advise and TIA 🙂

Hi @iambrett
“posts to summary vs full text in wordpress reading options” those options are for RSS feed not for the post display.

for the search, archive & home pages excerpt codes is already used

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

you can take a look of content.php inside the BuddyBoss theme
on the single post view full content will be displayed

So how do I make all of the posts on the homepage show as excerpts?

Can you please tell me, step by step?

Thanks again

the link says

“you can modify the content.php inside the child theme as per your requirement
You will need to replace following codes inside the content.php”

however, I do not see in the child theme a content.php file only a functions.php and I don’t see the code referenced in there.

Hi @iambrett, Please copy content.php from parent theme and paste inside the child theme.
