  In the “Reading settings”, the option for Summary view isn’t working. I’ve tried switching the setting to Full Text, saving it, and checking if the description was possibly reversed but it was still the same. I switched the option back to Summary, saved, and it still looks the same as Full Text.

  Hoping you amazing Tech people can assist me in fixing this ASAP ^_^ Thanks in advance!

  Hi there,

  Are you trying to have only a summary of your articles appear on your posts page? If so, I’m afraid the “Summary View” in Reading Settings only changes how your posts appear in your blog’s RSS feed.

  To shorten the text that appears on your posts page, i.e. to show only the first 5 to 10 lines of your blog post, you will need to use the “More Tag.” Instructions on how to do this are available here:
