  I can’t seem to get my blog working in a way that only a summary of the posts is shown, not the whole text and photos. Can anybody help me with this? Thank you!

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

  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”
