Hi Phil, yes it is not working on some themes. I will try to play on a workaround for your theme, then. Keep you posted! Cheers!
all good, I just use the "more" button in the text editor, much better as you can put it where you want :) Thank you though!
Hi Martina, One of the themes, we've tried that the summary is not working is on the Twenty Twelve theme. Is it possible to know the theme that you've used in your website? I would be willing to look for a workaround. Cheers, Jhen
Hi Martina,
This is what I have come up with after applying a workaround: http://sergstest.siterubix.com using Twenty Ten Theme.
If you are happy with the look you can follow the steps I have documented here: http://sergstest.siterubix.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Display-Post-Excerpts-in-Twenty-Ten-Theme.txt
All the best,

Ok, Teddy sorry to hear that. I would appreciate if you could provide me your theme name, please. I will be installing in my test site and play around with it. Thanks!
Twenty Twelve it was just one of the free ones available to me when I was a free member. Is it hard to change theme with out messing up your content ?
Ok, I will try it then with Twenty Twelve. If you do change your theme best to have a backup first of your contents to be sure. Though, in some of my tests in changing themes - the pages, posts and images are intact as well as the plugin setup. Keep you posted.
Hi Teddy, yes - it goes with your theme, the reason why it is not displaying the blog excerpts. The No. of Posts per Page is ok but not the blog excerpts. The theme is also not having any template as "Blog" like most of the available templates when you do create a Blog Page. I've seen this link while checking for resolutions which might be of interest to you: https://wordpress.org/support/theme/twentytwelve
All the best,

How would you like your footer to be? This is an example - Copyright © 2014 Affiliates Today - www.affiliatetoday.org
For your footer:
NOTE: Be sure to backup first the functions.php file by copying and pasting all its content to Notepad or MSWord.
STEPS:
1. Go to Apprearance>>Editor
2. Click on functions.php under the Templates sidebar
3. Change the code as per NEW CODE I've attached as well.

Happy editing. :)
wow thank you soooo much that saves me so much time I actually already figured out how to get to the code myself and about a month ago I made my own theme and ran wordpress on wamp but it was very basic and took FOREVER. I've been focusing on keyword research today though
Love it when you do this, Jhen! You are almost magical, m'dear, in your ability to train some of us non-techies!!!
Thanks much, Carla. By the way, I am currently organizing the screenshots for your sidebar. Cheers, Jhen
Steps with screenshots sent! :) If you need further clarification my dear, please PM me. Cheers!
I still don't know how to do a screen shot...only because I haven't looked into it yet. :)) Have any tips on that for me. :))
I am using FSCapture for my screenshots. You can capture part of the screen or whole screen. Here is the link on where you can download for free and it comes with a tutorial as well: http://www.faststone.org/FSCaptureDetail.htm
Thank you, I was asked by tech support to do one before and there explanation on how to do it was all foreign, this looks like something I can easily use. :))
Yes, it is easy to use. If you need further assistance in using it, please feel free to pop me a message... Have fun using it! :)
