I'm new to wordpress, but my brother wants wordpress site so I'm making him a custom wordpress theme and I'm stuck at trying to get excerpt of the post. I have read documentation and tried changing excerpt length but it doesn't seem to respond in either case, the output is basically the_content of the post.
Anyone knows how to fix this?
Did you really add an excerpt to the post in the edit page? An excerpt is a separate piece of text.
Wordpress shows the post content when the excerpt is empty. It will take the first 55 words of the content. (source)
When editing a post, you have a separate input box for excerpts. Look under screen options if it's hidden.
You can open the screen options on the edit page at the top of your screen. There is a small popup called 'screen options'.

I can't find the solution to this problem. On my wordpress page some content is showing up and some content is not. Usually if I made a post of just a single image this image is not shown unless it is featured. Is there a way to change this for all my posts?
I created a listing/directory theme to the wordpress. Theme is supporting add short code or static code (raw). i want to show recent blog post of only listing owner at all listing page. I can show recent post at listing page but showing all author's post.
Thank you.
In your dashboard sidebars options go to post and then open up the screen option, there you will see Columns heading , just check the box of author and the other which you want to show along with author post. As well as you can set numbers of post per page and also change the view mode.
By doing this you can only show the author post to your post section.
I want to show the title of my blog post to only search engines and want to show h1 title to my readers inside my blog post.
But whenever I write the title on WordPress and hit update. It shows me both title as well as the h1 tag.
So it is quite annoying to me as well as for readers.
I have installed "title remover" plugin and I can't see the title now in the blog post. So the problem is solved.
But I want to know is there any other way to hide title but only show in search results?
I have attached screenshots to understand better. Basically, I see on many Blogs that they only show title on the search result pages but when we click we get to see h1 tag inside the posts.
I want to show only title for search pages and not in blog posts inside.
Here is the screenshots
Wordpress interface
Blog Page where I want only H1 to show and not title

I want to know is there any other way to remove title from blog post?
Definitely there is an easy fix to this, you need to browse your theme and find your post template - wp-content->themes->my_theme_name. Now different themes may have a different file/folder structure but usually in the root theme folder the file that displays your posts is called single.php Open up this file and you'll see the WP loop calling for the template that will output your post content - something like this - http://joxi.ru/YmE6BlxC0W5jR2 When you locate your template which outpust your posts content you will see the the_title() - the function that 'prints' your posts title - http://joxi.ru/4AkknX4IyGZR8A
Edit css of your blog title and add this css code
.post-title {
display: none;
}
I'm currently using the latest WordPress install and using HTML5 Blank WordPress Theme by Todd Motto. I'm currently having issues with the EXCERPT function. I want to be able to manually type out a excerpt and have the read more link after the sentence. Not sure how to go about doing so. The the blank themes default is great, but I because of certain content... I need to be able to manually write an excerpt. Does anyone know how I would go about this?
Thank you!
Click the "Screen Options" tab on the very top right of the screen -
There should be a checkbox for about a dozen different things - custom fields, discussion and.. Excerpt. Just check the box for that, and the excerpt box will pop up under the post editor allowing you to type in a manual excerpt
The summary page of blog posts (Blog Front Page) is not showing the right formatting of copy as per the full blog post.
For example, look at "Article in the Vancouver Sun..." in second article here: http://socialinnovationbc.ca/news/
and then see it in the full post here: http://socialinnovationbc.ca/2011/11/collaboration-innovation-key-to-social-ills/
It has removed the link, plus the formatting.
Any ideas how to stop it doing that?
Never seen this issue in Wordpress before.
Thanks
WordPress by default strips html and short-codes while the excerpt is shown. One work around is to add the html in the excerpt text area field for the post. Any html added to the excerpt metabox would not be filtered.
