How do I set my categories to show excerpts instead of full content?
-
I want to set my categories to show a short list of headings and excerpts to make navigation more accessible to readers. Right now it shows all the content in one long scroll.
I have searched extensively looking for an answer, and most sites say this can be done by setting <?php the_content(); ?> to <?php_excerpt(); ?> in CSS. However, I cannot find where to actually do this do this. I do not have premium wordpress–might that be the issue? If so, is there any other way to tackle this? I am using the theme Writr. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Sincerely,
LK

How posts are displayed in category, archive and search pages is a theme function.
Here on WPcom we do not have access to the underlying PHP or HTML of our themes, so if you wish to change how your above pages are displayed, you may want to look in the theme Showcase for a different theme. https://wordpress.com/themes/ Having Premium or Custom Design upgrades does not give you the ability to access PHP or HTML.
