McKinley Theme: Show only Summary on front page
-
Hi,
Is it possible to have only a short summary on the front page as opposed to full texts of my recent postings?
I tried looking through the Settings panel but found nothing to set it this way. Any help would be appreciated. Even if I need to go with another template.
Thank you in advance.
Paul
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes, and “the more tag” is not a theme-specific feature. There is also no global setting for it.
Note that 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/The read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or main page for posts display from full post to an excerpt. The split in the ext does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.
Alternatively, you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. This is a list of only SOME active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410

Thank you TimeThief.
I forgot about the “read more” break. Plus, it’s a good way to customize the boring “more” link.
Have a Happy New Year!!!
