I want to display on main page names of articles and short text of articles. Now WP displays full articles and it is big problem for me.
Is there a way to display short text of articles on main page?
In navigation admin menu, go to Setting->Reading, there is an option For each article in a feed, show, choose Summary.
Hope it helps.
You can use the [more] tag in wordpress (there is even a button in the GUI article editor that says more)

I need to show the posts of a wordpress site but without the intro text, that is, I want the intro text, the text before the read more, not to show. How can I do that? Thanks.
If you are looking at hiding the intro text in the posts listing, then you will have to edit the post.php page within the theme folder. If you are not into PHP code, then I suggest you look for a theme where the post intro is no shown in the listing.
I would want to create a preview in wordpress that would look different than the normal post. I know how I can shorten the text but I want the whole post to have a different css when you click on the link that will send you to page where the post is. I will appreciate any answer or hint. Thanks
You can use Page Templates. Its not available on posts, only on pages but it will look the same. Create a new page, select a different template and click preview.
We have converted a paper newsletter to a WordPress site. One thing we're struggling with is that all the posts have to link to another page where you read the article.
We have some items that were just a photo and cut-line in the paper version that we'd like to offer on our homepage and we don't want them linking to a "Read More" since the Read More doesn't offer any additional content.
Any ideas on a work around?
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
I am building a custom WordPress theme and need to add descriptions to my custom menu links. According to WordPress, there is a way to do this:
"The description will be displayed in the menu if the current theme supports it."
Does anyone know how to support this?
Thanks in advance,
Tim
Wordpress' documentation on this is misleading. It actually took me quite some time to find out how to do this myself. As long as your theme supports menus (meaning, you've Registered a Custom Menu within functions.php or elsewhere), you can add Link Descriptions and other useful information by default.
In order to SEE these options, go to Appearance->Menus and click on Screen Options (up in the top right-hand corner of the screen). You will be able to enable the options you like under "Show advanced menu properties".
