    Hello, I am using “Under the influence” hosted by WordPress and need help for the following:

    1. where can I set the pages (front page, archives, author pages) to show only a summary of each post plus a link “read more …” (or equivalent)
    2. how can I set the Author Page to show the name of the author on top ? even better, to show also the gravatar of the author ?

    Advice welcome, thank you !

    Good day to you,
    I’m sorry to report that you have accidentally posted to the wrong support forum. We cannot help you here at WordPress.com with that site as it’s not being hosted by WordPress.com. We run on different software and have a different version of the theme. This is the correct forum for your software http://wordpress.ORG/support/

    Best wishes with your site.

    Hi there,
    I’ve already posted there (see http://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-under-the-influence-how-to-show-excerpts-on-the-home-page-not-full-posts ) and I was answered to post here ….

    The blog is hosted by WordPress.com … correct address is http://thechangeleaders.wordpress.com/, my mistake

    Can anyone answer my questions ?

    Thanks for providing the link to the correct blog.

    1. the more tag
    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.

    2. author byline workaround for single author blogs
    Regardless of the theme, bylines will only display now if there are at least two authors who both have at least one published post in the blog. Click the link to find the workaround.
