Hey,

I was wondering how I can change the View of the Mainpage of the blog. Normaly there is the content stripped after a few words. How can I change it to an excerpt, e.g. without any picture I used at the beginning of a post?

It should look like that at first the post thumbnail is shown, then only the excerpt (without any html and pictures and other stuff) and then a link, where the user can go to the whole post.

Would be great if you can help!

Hi,

First, go to Enfold > Blog Style > Blog Style, select the “Single Author, big preview Pic (no author picture is displayed, feature image is big)”. You can specify the excerpt manually, just edit a post, look for the Screen Options (top right corner). Check the Excerpt option.

Regards,

Ismael

Hi Ismael,

thanks for your quick reply. I already set “Single Author, big preview Pic (no author picture is displayed, feature image is big)” and manually set the excerpt via “<!–more–>”-Tag. I can’t change it through the excerpt option because I already have over 2k posts and don’t want to change post by post.

Is there another way for working with the “<!–more–>”-Tag?

Yes – open up wp-contentthemesenfoldincludesloop-index.php and replace
```
$current_post['content'] 	= $blog_content == "content" ? get_the_content(__('Read more','avia_framework').' &rarr;') : get_the_excerpt();
```
with
```
$current_post['content'] 	= get_the_content(__('Read more','avia_framework').' &rarr;');
```

Hey Dude,

thanks – that helps a little ;) Now I have only the problem, that images I used at the beginning of a post are shown at the first page too. In combination with the post thumbnails it looks really bad. Is there any way that not the content will be shown but a real excerpt (only text, no images, no html-codes, …)??

Hi ppc1337,

If you change get_the_content to get_the_excerpt it will return the excerpt field for the post.

Hey Devin,

I tried this already. The content is diplayed through “echo $content”. I tried to change it to get_the_excerpt and the_excerpt – but then nothing is displayed

You can try following code:
```
$current_post['content'] 	= $blog_content == "content" ? get_the_content(__('Read more','avia_framework').' &rarr;') : strip_tags(get_the_content(__('Read more','avia_framework').' &rarr;'));
```

Hey!

Then try:
```
$current_post['content'] = get_the_content(__('Read more','avia_framework').' →');

if(!is_single())

{

$current_post['content'] = strip_tags(get_the_content('&nbsp;'));

$current_post['content'] .= '<div class="read-more-link"><a href="'.get_permalink($the_id).'" class="more-link">'.__('Read more','avia_framework').' &rarr;</a></div>';

}
```
Best regards,

Hey!
