I only want to show a summary of each post, not the whole thing
-
When I select “Home” on my blog I only want this to show the title and a brief summary of each post. At the moment it shows the entire post. How do I change this? I’ve already tried going into Settings -> Reading -> For each article in a field, show “Summary”. But this hasn’t changed anything. What else do I need to do?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
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.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/Alternatively, you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. This is a list of active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. Here are the themes that do provide that feature > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410
