post summary

    For some time I have tried to format my blog so that only a portion of the beginning of each post is listed in the home page so that readers can easily scroll through the posts and then pick the one they want to read, rather than have to scroll the entire post before they come to the next one. I have selected the ‘Summary’ option below, but it makes no difference. Could you tell me how to fix this problem? My website is marysmondaymatinee.wordpress.com.
    Thank you

    Hi there,

    Your theme doesn’t support automatic excerpts, so the only way to only show a summary on the front page is to add the more-tag inside every post, at the point where you want it to cut off.

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/more-tag/

    The summary option you see in your site settings only refer to your site’s RSS feed and new post emails sent out to email subscribers, and doesn’t affect how the post appears on your site itself.
