Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

How can I get my central Blog page to summarize my entries?

I have seen other Blogs where the list of blog entries are summarized. However, on my Blog, the entire entry is shown.

I would like my central Blog page to show the title and a summary with the first few sentences only. If the viewer wants to read the entire post, they can click on the link to see it.

Here is my Blog so you can see what I am talking about:

Thanks,

What check box are you talking about? There is no check box in the excerpts section of the theme options.
