In index.php, find <?php the_content(); ?> and replace with <?php the_excerpt(); ?>. That should work for full width posts or a side by side layout, depending on your theme.

much respect

i couldn’t trouble you for how to have ‘Read more:[name of the post]’ added below the excerpts like this site below, could i?

<?php the_excerpt("Read More: " . get_the_title('', '', false)); ?>

from Customizing the Read More.

this didn’t seem to make a difference – thanks anyway

i reverted to the <?php the_content(); ?> code, and used the EverMore plugin someone somewhere else reccommended

cheers

actually… changed my mind again…

… had a look at the Customizing the Read More docs page and realised that
<?php the_excerpt(“Read More: ” . get_the_title(”, ”, false)); ?>

should be
<?php the_content(“Read More: ” . get_the_title(”, ”, false)); ?>

(for anyone else who searches for this info later on)
