No teaser on homepage
-
I am using the origin theme and have just created my first post. However, all you can see on my homepage is the title of the post. You have to then click on this title to see the full post.
Ideally I would like to see a teaser of my post on the homepage. Then, the ability to see the full post by clicking on it.
I have looked on a number of forums and tried playing around with ‘more’ ‘content’ and ‘excerpt’, but no luck.
Any help would be very much appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The theme automatically displays the beginning of the text. If you want a different teaser, you add it yourself in the Excerpt module of the post editor.

Thanks so much for your reply. Where is the excerpt module located exactly? Sorry, I’m new to this so just learning to navigate it all!

You have two options. I believe you are interested in 2. below.
1. Choose a theme designed to display full posts. Themes that automatically provide excerpts on the front page are listed here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410
2. Create an excerpt – workaround to display full post.
This applies to any theme that provides automatic excerpts on the front page. As there is an active excerpt box below the post editor, you can control the length of the excerpt displayed and the exact excerpt that is displayed . This is the workaround you can use to override excerpt display on the front page.
You compose your whole post first and before you publish it you switch to the HTML (Text) editor, copy the code for what you wish to appear, paste it into the Excerpt box below the editor, and publish the post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/excerpts/#creating-excerpts
If you want to create your own excerpt for each post then that will have to be done on every post.
