In the WordPress Twenty Seventeen theme, when you view the list of posts, the entire contents are displayed. Let’s see how to turn this into a summary display.
After moving to the WordPress dash board, go into the theme design and enter Theme Editor. After entering the CSS editor, look for content.php
<div class="entry-content"> <?php /* translators: %s: Name of current post */ the_content( sprintf( __( 'Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "%s"</span>', 'twentyseventeen' ), get_the_title() ) ); wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyseventeen' ), 'after' => '</div>', 'link_before' => '<span class="page-number">', 'link_after' => '</span>', ) ); ?> </div><!-- .entry-content -->
Replace the above code with the code below.
<div class="entry-content"> <?php if ( is_single() ) : /* translators: %s: Name of current post */ the_content( sprintf( __( 'Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "%s"</span>', 'twentyseventeen' ), get_the_title() ) ); wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyseventeen' ), 'after' => '</div>', 'link_before' => '<span class="page-number">', 'link_after' => '</span>', ) ); else : the_excerpt( sprintf( __( 'Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "%s"</span>', 'twentyseventeen' ), get_the_title() ) ); wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyseventeen' ), 'after' => '</div>', 'link_before' => '<span class="page-number">', 'link_after' => '</span>', ) ); endif; ?> </div><!-- .entry-content -->
Save and redirect your homepage again, you will see a summary.
