  Hello,

  I would like to know how to set my blog posts to show only a certain amount instead of the full text until someone clicks on the post.

  Thanks!

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

  Hi there @bolaycha,

  This will require going into the WP Admin area of the Dashboard. The steps are:

  WP Admin –> Settings –> Reading. In Reading set ‘For each article in a feed, show’ to Summary then save.

  More on this can be found at this support document:
