    Hello. Could someone tell me how to show post excerpts on the blog page while using scrawl theme. In others words, I want to replace the full post by an excerpt followed by “Read more…” Thank you.

  • Hi felyx, to display excerpts you can either manually add a More tag to each post to split it where you want, or create a child theme and make a small tweak there.

    The More tag is in the post editor’s formatting toolbar, or you can add it manually like this:

    <!--more-->

    You can even include a custom message like this:

    <!--more Keep Reading!-->

    In case you’d like the excerpts displayed automatically, you can create a child theme, so your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme. Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before:

    If you decide to go that route, let me know once you’re set up and I can assist with the specific code changes.

    Thank you very much for the help Kathryn. I’ll stick to the individual post edit for now but the information is all very useful and will come handy as future reference.

    Sounds good and you’re very welcome!
