This is interesting because I have the full post on my front page and only want the excerpt. I used the following code to put the post on my static front page, but now it just shows the whole post while everything else works fine.

<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=1'); ?>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?></a>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

Any suggestions on getting just the excerpt to show up? Thanks!

Thanks for this code! I’ve been searching for hours trying to figure this out.

Is there a way to make this only show the excerpt instead of the whole post?
