Show only excerpt on category pages

Hi there,

I’d like to show only the excerpt of posts on category pages. My posts are heavily image-focussed so the images show up on category pages. However when I add text to the post, the whole length shows up, instead of just an excerpt. The Theme Options Blog Excerpt Length is set to 60. I guess that’s 60 words? But the whole post is showing up anyway. I feel like I must be missing something obvious.

Can you help please?

Many thanks!

Hello @ramyasriram1,

Thanks for writing to us.

Regretfully there is no option to show the post excerpt only on the category archive page, it would require custom development. I would suggest you please contact a developer who can assist you with your concerns or you can subscribe to One where customization questions are answered.

For the full content showing in place of the excerpt, it might be the issue of customization or plugin conflict, I would suggest you troubleshoot with a few of the common issues before we investigate your settings.

  1. Testing for Plugin Conflict
  2. CSS/JS Customization
  3. Version Compatibility
  4. Disabling Cache
  5. Child Theme

If it doesn’t work for you, please share your details in a secure note. Please provide the following details

  • WordPress Login URL
  • Admin level username and password

You can find the Secure Note button at the bottom of your posts

Thanks
