my website rongbuzz.com i use your theme sparkling . everything is going well but in my first page that show full post . but i want to see that just summarize . how can i fix that
Hi @rongbazz,
I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.
To display summary/excerpt of the post content and not full post content on front page of your site create a child theme as described on this page http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes then copy paste the following files from sparkling theme in to the root folder of created child theme
content.php
content-single.php
content-page.php
In the above copied files search the following code
<?php the_content(); ?>
Change the above code with the following code to display summary/excerpt instead of full post content.
<?php if( is_home() ){ the_excerpt(); }else{ the_content(); } ?>
Best Regards,
Vinod Dalvi
thanks for your support
You are most welcome, if i can be of any further assistance please don’t hesitate to ask
Hello Vinod,
I had the same issue as rongbazz and after applying your fix it works fine. Great!
But one more question about this: I’ve configured my blog to have the calendar widget on a sidebar, so one can see, in which months how many posts were written. Pretty standard. Now, when clicking on a month, the full posts are displayed again. Is there a similar fix to the one, you already suggested, so that only a excerpt of the posts will be displayed?
Thank you and best regards,
Juergen
