  Dear all,

  Please help me to find the right theme which supports excerpt of each post. excerpt will lead to the detail post. Or an image which will be like a thumbnail or tile image for the post. when the user clicks on the image it leads to the detailed post

  I am not able to figure out which free themes support this feature.

  Regards
  Abhishek

  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

  Whether or not just permalinked titles, permalinked titles and excerpts, full posts, or thumbnails are displayed on Categories Pages and Archives pages is theme dependent ie. it’s coded into the template and we cannot edit templates or themes. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/editing-themes/

  In the majority of themes, posts on category or other archive pages show up just as they do on the main posts page in the blog and the number displayed is also the same.

  Hi, @timethief & srivastavasaumya15

  One more: Gridiculous Pro uses the excerpt instead of full post.

  Cheers.

  Of course, using the More tag, you can get excerpts on the front page in almost any theme.

  I have to mention my favourite theme which is ‘Origin’. It’s responsive and uses excerpts on the home page. I’m a big fan! Great comments from @timethief and @raincoaster – as always. I learn so much from you too, just by reading your responses to other people’s threads. :-)
