Control Home Page Post Excerpt Content in Thesis Theme
By | August 22, 2009 | 18 Comments
Thesis theme provides an option to display only post excerpts in the home page – but the problem I found was it shows very little content that might not entice the reader. Also the post header images were gone from the home page.
Then I found a very neat option available with Thesis to control the home page post excerpt content. You can choose to display whatever you want in the Home Page and let the rest go in to the Post Page. I know many of you may be already using it, but it is just to the benefit for newbies like me.
1. Disable the Post Excerpt Display
Thesis provides you an option to display only excerpts in the Home Page. You can navigate to Admin –> Appearance –> Thesis Options and expand the Posts under the Display Options section.
Since this option doesn’t allow you to control the content displayed and also sometimes the hides the Post Header Image, we disable it for our purpose.
You can also customize the clickthrough text. This decides the Text that will be displayed on the Home Page, for the user to click and get on to the post page.
To keep it simple, I have made it “Read More…”, but you can customize it based on the needs.
