Hi, is this on ggtirevite.wordpress.com, and can you share the full error message you got? I just tried on one of my test sites and didn’t get any errors, but if you’ll send more details, we’d be happy to take a look.

I was able to adopt it I believe. My next question is how do I change my posts to be just a summary on the main page (with a ‘READ MORE’ kinda thing), instead of the whole post? Thanks for your help

The Reading settings control how your blog is displayed to visitors. You can access these settings by going to Settings → Reading in your site’s dashboard.

https://wordpress.com/support/settings/reading-settings/#show-full-text-or-excerpt

For each article in a feed, you can select Full text or Excerpt/ Summary. Full text means that the entire contents of a post are included in the feed. Excerpt/ summary means that only the first 55 words are included in the feed, along with the option to continue reading the rest of the post.

I hope that clarifies things!

Thanks, changed the default in the site settings as you suggested. Can I change an existing post, and if so, how/where?

You can manually set an excerpt in the post editor:

We have extensive documentation on our support site so you might be able to find answers to future questions as well. Otherwise we’re always happy to help here on the support forums by creating a new topic.

Hope that helps!
