  Hi,

  Is there a way I can edit the appearance of my posts in my categories? I would like not the entire post to show, but perhaps just a title and thumbnail with a “Read more” link to the actual post. Is there a way to change this with a code?

  I appreciate any help,
  Thanks,
  Anna

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

  We can hide the post content on categories, tags and archives pages with the following, but it will not have a read more button. People will have to click on the title of the post to view it.

  .archive .entry-content {
      display: none;
  }

  If you only want to hide the content on the categories pages (leaving it on the tags and archives pages) then we can target just the categories pages with the following.

  .category .entry-content {
      display: none;
  }

  Give those a try and see what you think.

  The above leaves the categories listed at the bottom and the leave a comment link. If you wish to remove those as well, then add one of the following.

  .archive .entry-meta {
      display: none;
  }

  .category .entry-meta {
      display: none;
  }

  That’s perfect, but is there a way to remove the post date and add a thumbnail – perhaps the featured imaged that I assigned to the post?

  Are you still talking about category pages?

  There isn’t a way to add thumbnail images on the category page, but you might want to experiment with the Display Posts shortcode to generate your category pages instead of using the built-in category pages. You can do a lot of customization with the shortcode, including adding thumbnails:

  To remove the post date on category pages, try this:

  .category .entry-date {
  	display: none;
  }
