  I am not able to show only one sentence from child page (not a posting) on the grid page.
  It is showing so many words at https://spching2006.wordpress.com/schedule/

  Based on sample given by Sela – https://selademo.wordpress.com/page-templates/grid-page/
  I even tried to put blockquote for one sentence in one of the child page https://spching2006.wordpress.com/schedule/159-2/ and yet it is still showing many words in the parent page.

  Please help. Thanks.

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

  I am not able to show only one sentence from child page (not a posting) on the grid page.

  Each of the single sentences is an excerpts which has been added to the excerpt module below the corresponding page editor.

  I am sorry, I am really new to wordpress and I am only using wordpress basic package. I cannot find the excerpt module in the page editor. I only see excerpt in the post and I am not using post.

  Please guide me.

  Hi,

  I am really new to wordpress and I am only using wordpress basic package

  No worries. Excerpts is a free WordPress feature. Have you read the Excerpts support page yet? It includes a section titled “Creating Excerpts.”

  The Excerpts module in a page editor is, like the corresponding module in the post editor, below the editor window by default. However, all of the modules are movable and they could be anywhere below the editor window or in the right sidebar area. On my test website, (not certain that I hadn’t moved anything prior to checking) the page editor Excerpts module was found further below the window than is the case with the post editor Excerpts module.

  Note also that the Excerpts support page says,

  Depending on the theme you have activated, excerpts you assign may be displayed on your homepage, RSS feed, or archives page. Your theme will also determine whether or not your excerpt is followed by a link that points readers to the full-length post.

  spching2006 – do you still need any help or are you all set?

  The excerpt box looks like this:

  Thank you musicdoc1 and kathrynwp.

  Thanks for the tips. I finally figure out why I can’t see the excerpt module. It is because of the “Screen options” on top was not selected.

  Thank you so much for your help.
