rjharding 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2011 Hello all, Anybody know how to easily change the excerpts that display on category pages? Currently, they just grab the first 100 words or so, but some of that wording just doesn't belong in my particular instance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catrina 103 Report post Posted July 16, 2011 Do you want to write the excerpts yourself for the posts you publish? There is a way to do that using the "Excerpt" box in the post editor. Please read the docs before posting. Please do not private message me unless I ask you to. Designer | Catrina Dulay Founder | Catrina and Mouse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjharding 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2011 Catrina, I remember seeing a box to place an excerpt on my other websites, but with this particular one the box is gone... There is nowhere within the post editor to change the excerpt of a post anymore. Was this a change by Wordpress? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjharding 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2011 Well since WP (I think) removed that box from the post editor, I needed to install the plugin "Excerpt Editor" and that allows you to specify the excerpt within the plugin editor. Kind of annoying, but it gets the job done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
