  I’m using Misty Lake theme with header menus. When I click on a category on the header menu, blog posts appear in full. Is there any way of getting them to appear as short extracts, the way they display under search results?
  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there,
  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.

  Or you can use one of these themes that have automatic excerpts instead of full post content. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410

  Whether or not just titles, tiles and excerpts, full posts, permalinked or thumbnails are displayed on Categories Pages and Archives pages is theme dependent ie. it’s coded into the template and we cannot edit templates or themes. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/editing-themes/

  In the majority of themes, posts on category or other archive pages show up just as they do on the main posts page in the blog and the number displayed is also the same.
