  Hi,

  Can I get summaries on the main page when I post something? I tried to check the option summary in Reading Settings , I still get the entire text.
  Thanks for your help,

  Augustin

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

  The summary option in Reading Settings is for RSS feeds. Inserting more tags is an option. From the More Tag support page:

  You can truncate your blog entries so that only the first part of certain posts is displayed on the home and archive pages. When you do this, a link will be placed directly after your excerpt, pointing the reader to the full post.

  Hi there,

  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

  Hi there,
  This is a peer support forum and all threads are considered to be shared resources available via search. I’ve answered questions here along with raincoaster for over 8 years now. We both predate all support Staff except one member even being on Staff, and we also predate the support docs, which were originally based on our answers and are continually updated as living documents. As we and the other long term Volunteers ghost the threads of those who pop up here to answer questions and augment them with additional information when their responses are incomplete those bloggers who post for help get accurate and complete answers to their questions.

  You’re welcome and best wishes for happy blogging!
