5/31/2023 0 Comments Wordpress theme 2017What’s cool, then, is I can fire in short items which are asides (yes, I know, there’s an “Aside” format) and have these readable in full in the archive – just by posting something and not using the Read More tag. ![]() ![]() Using the more tag, we get to simply pick where to break our content, hit the button, and save the post. That’s more work to maintain my customization, and also every single time I posted. Why? Because if I did code up a way to use excerpts, I’d then need to either specify the max length and/or select an excerpt of text using the WordPress input for this. ![]() So the answer, of course, was so ludicrously simple, yet, despite passing my 10 year anniversary as a registered member of last May (and I have been actively using WP in all this time, for a living, every day, pretty much), I forgot about the more tag. I didn’t want to go down the route of building a child theme to keep whatever way I could use excerpts instead of the full post content that’s my day job. ![]() When I installed the WordPress Twenty Seventeen theme on this site, in order to rebuild this site as a personal blog (after having previously used it to relate information on local political stuff I had been doing), I noticed that the archives are all complete text, and there was (apparently) no setting to turn that off or change this to be just excerpts. Sometimes developers think about problems and look for solutions in the code, even though there’s already a better way.
