  I am creating a fashion blog. Images, titles and articles are needed. I want to have only the image and title visible on the page. Once the title or image is clicked, its corresponding article is viewed. For example, I want to post an image of a pair of boots. The title will read “My favorite boots”. When the image or the title is clicked, an article about the boots opens. As of now, the image, title and full article is on the main page. The amount of text is overwhelming and distracting from the images, which needs to be the immediate focal point. How do I achieve this? I have tried to change themes that seem to display what I want, but either the layout changes (from grid to descending) or the image disappears altogether. I am using the Visual theme. Themes similar to sinfo, mixfolio, even thestyle or traveler with a few lines of text as a preview are good, but again when I activate them the layout changes and/or image disappears. I like the grid view. Please help. Thank you.

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

  Hi there,

  One way you can change this is to use the “more” tag in your posts. You can insert the more tag after the image in your post, and everything else will be hidden from the front page. Visitors can click through to read your full post. Here’s more about using that tag: More Tag

  Another option is to use Featured Images in your posts. If you add a featured image to your post, the Visual theme will automatically show it on the front page along with the title. Then, you can hide the rest of the post’s content using custom CSS.

  To add custom CSS, go to Appearance > Customize in your dashboard and select CSS from the Customize tools. In the CSS editor, you can enter the following CSS:

  .entry-content {
  display: none;
  }

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
