    I’ve set my blog style to Multi-Author Blog. Homepage looks great however I’d like to show the custom post excerpt I enter on each post vs. the default “First paragraph” etc…

    Is there a simple way to do this? For now I’m just using the <!–more–> command but would love to just have the homepage use the custom excerpt.

    Thanks!

    Hi SK!

    You can use the more tag or the custom excerpt field when editing the post.

    If your trying to have the homepage display a custom excerpt and the archives display the regular excerpt then I’m not sure if that is going to be possible or not.

    Regards,

    Hi Elliott — I would actually prefer to ALWAYS use the custom excerpt on all areas. Search, Archives, Home Pages etc….

    Hi,

    Welcome back! Please edit includes > loop-index.php file. Look for this code around line 55:

    $current_post['content'] 	= $blog_content == "content" ? get_the_content(__('Read more','avia_framework').'<span class="more-link-arrow">  &rarr;</span>') : get_the_excerpt();

    .. replace it with:

    $current_post['content'] 	= get_the_excerpt();

    Best regards,

    OK cool let me give that a shot. If I do this, should I do it via a Chile Theme so it doesn’t get blown away the next time you update the theme?

    Hi,

    we definitely recommend to use a child theme.
    Let us know if you still need help with this or not.

    OK, 99% there!

    That worked however now the box “Read More” is gone. What do I add to get that back?

    Actually, just went to an individual page and now it’s only showing the excerpt. So that fix doesn’t work. :(

    So I need to add the Read More button back and entire post needs to show up on individual pages.

    Also, is there a way to make the featured image point to the article, not the author page?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I checked your website and “Read more” button is working fine for me. So could you fix it already?

    For your second questions check out this: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/redirect-author-picture-link-to-another-page/

    Please use different tickets for different questions in the future.

    Best regards,

    Hi Andy – Yes, I had to undo the change because it turned all my content on single posts into the excerpt also. So I had to roll it back.
