post on blog vs. post via email
-
When my blog posts are sent to subscribers I don’t want them to see the entire post. Is it possible to show the entire post on my website BUT show up with a “read more” tag post preview when it is sent via email? The emails are being sent automatically via WordPress.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
The emails are drawn from the RSS Feed URL
See here http://revivingcharm.com/feed/Note that “the more tag” is not a theme-specific feature. There is also no global setting for it.
Also, 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 text 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.
So I think I need to select “summary” in the Setting/Reading menu to “summary”.
Thank you for your comments. Much appreciated!
