  Hello there
  I had a question regarding posts
  When you scroll down the page i don’t want to see full content of my each post. How do i make it so it’s just preview of full post on my page.
  Thank you

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You’ll want to take advantage of the More tag. It allows you to show only a portion of your post on the home page. Give it a try and see if you like the results. Here are the instructions:

  If you use the text editor press the more button to insert <!–more–> exactly where you want the post to stop. Visitor will see the first part (before the more tag) and click to continue and read the rest of the post from that point.

  If you use the visual editor press the second from the end button. If you move your cursor over it and wait for a moment it will say “insert read more tag”

  You can also just pick a theme that does that automatically.

  Here’s my cover all the bases copy and paste:
  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.

  Alternatively, you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. This is a list of active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. Here are the themes that do provide that feature > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410

  To control the number of posts displayed on the front page go to > Dashboard > Settings > Reading
  Blog pages show at most _ posts
  “save changes”

  NOTE: When you insert the more tag into a post the split will not be evident in the preview mode. It will be there after publication, provided you entered it correctly.

  TT: the list is very outdated.
