WordPress blog upgrade to the latest version of the changelog summary word count issue 10

Only the article summary is displayed on the WordPress homepage.

How do I display a published article summary instead of the full text in a WordPress theme? In fact, this is very simple, and everyone can use this feature built into WordPress to achieve it. The advantage of using this method is that it reduces page load time and increases the number of page views.

How does it reduce page load times?

If you write a large number of articles, loading them on the same page will greatly affect your page load time. By using this article, you can display a mini-description of the article and let the reader navigate through the article through a separate article page.

How does it increase the number of page views? If you don't use summaries, sometimes users will only read articles under the category page. And if the abstract is added, they will move back to the original article.

The number of page views went from 1 to 2. In addition, since the comment form is on the same page as the original article, more users will leave comments, because it is more convenient to load another separate page to post comments.

Tutorial Open your file as well. Some people's templates don't necessarily contain all of these files, and that's okay, just open the file you have on hand.

Replace it with :

This way you can write custom summaries from the WordPress admin panel. It looks like this:

If you don't write a custom summary, WordPress will automatically display the first 55 words in your post.

From future versions, you can modify the word limit of the abstract, if you need to modify the word limit, just open the file and add the following **:

changing excerpt length function new_excerpt_length($length)

add_filter(‘excerpt_length’, new_excerpt_length’);

changing excerpt more function new_excerpt_more($more)

add_filter(‘excerpt_more’, new_excerpt_more’);

If you want to see the effect of this paragraph, just click on any category from the navigation menu and you'll see that it doesn't show the full article but a summary.

I don't know if it works for you to try it out for yourself.

post_content)),0, 290,"...");

This ** can automatically take the first 290 of the body as a summary.
