Affinity theme: Blog summaries?
-
Hello. I’m using the Affinity theme. Is there any way to make it so that only an excerpt shows up on the blog index page, instead of the entire blog entries? I understand I can use the ‘more’ button, but I was really hoping I could make it so that the text in the actual ‘excerpt’ field will display on the blog index page. Is this possible? Thank you so much.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Note that “the more tag” is not a theme-specific feature. There is also no global setting for it.
Also, note that the setting here > Settings > Reading is only for the RSS Feed summary and does not affect the posts.
If you want to display only excerpts on the front page of the blog followed by read more links, you can insert “the more tag” into each post prior to publication in the exact spot you want the content to split off.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/The read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or main page for posts display from full post to an excerpt. The split in the content does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.
Alternatively, you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. Use this filter for active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/blog-excerpts

Sorry but you cannot compel any theme to function in any way it is not designed to provide for.

I’m sorry I had to be the bearer of bad news. Thanks for being gracious and best wishes with your site.
