Home Page Not Showing Excerpts

Replies: 0

Hello,

I have been editing and testing to no avail. I am attempting to have my home page display the post excerpt I manually enter instead of the full post.

I’ve edited the “content-standard.php” file to change

<div class="post-entry standard-post-entry">
				<?php the_content( __( 'Continue Reading', 'pencidesign' ) ); ?>
				<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
			</div>

to

<div class="post-entry standard-post-entry">
				<?php the_excerpt( __( 'Continue Reading', 'pencidesign' ) ); ?>
				<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
			</div>

This almost works, however it then removes the “Continue Reading” button and I cannot figure out why.

I would love some help on this as I have been unable to find the answer on the theme’s support page either. Thanks in advance!
