    I am trying to change my posts so it will show excerpts instead of full posts. I found this code in loop single.php

    <div class="entry">
					<?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail', array('class' => 'alignleft')); ?>
	                                <?php the_content(__('» Read more..', 'themezee_lang')); ?>
					<div class="clear"></div>
					<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
				</div>

    [Please post code or markup snippets between backticks or use the code button. Your posted code may now have been permanently damaged by the forum’s parser.]

    I changed the <?php the_content(__(‘» Read more..’, ‘themezee_lang’)); ?> to <?php the_excerpt(); ?> and it showed excerpts but when I clicked on the actual article only the excerpt showed, not the whole article. C

    Can anyone please help?e

    possible more likely in loop.php, or to what template part index.php might point.

    (most files with ‘single’ in the name are for single post views)

    single.php is a template for a 1 direct post in full size. It means – no the list of posts. So single.php has to have a content.

    Change the_content() for the_excerpt() in index.php and archive.php etc.

    Any archives files (list of posts – category’s posts, author’s posts) should change content to excerpt.

    Files which WP use to show archives are:

    category.php, author.php, archive.php, tags.php(? not sure), custom-name.php,

    Then if theme dont have these files for specified type of archive – it use index.php

    WARNING!
    IF you use as a homepage a static page not a blog page.

    Then a standard blog page using home.php – there u can change a standard post list.
