Hello,

The theme created a blog page automaticaly on my website.
I have selected the option to show article extract (on wordpress option) but it’s not working, it still showing the full article. I didn’t find any option on the theme option or on the documentation.

Where can I select this option ?
Which php file (in the theme) is displaying the blog page ? Is it kind of a template ?

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for your answer but I want to display the extract I wrote, not the beginning of the article (because for SEO it makes duplicate content).

Is it possible ?

Hello,

No problem I can give your my credentials but I think it’s useless for the problem. Anyway I’m sending it to you…

To solve this problem:

I tried to change the index.php file in the theme root folder.

At line 33 there is:
```
<?php if(have_posts()): 
						while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
```
It’s may be just a “bug” on your theme. You need to change this line and put something like: if (extract option is selected on wordpress read option ) {show extract} else {show the_post()}.

I tried but I had an infinity loop…

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Hello,

We’re sorry for a long delay.

Our theme supports “more” tag by default and not excerpt that is available in post editor.
To show excerpts you need edit theme file – wp-content/themes/royal/content.php.
Unfortunately this is beyond our basic support scope and if you have necessary skills you can edit the file yourself. This article may be helpful:

Thanks for the answer.
Please consider changing it on the next update version of the theme because I think this is something essential for SEO and it is used by the majority of the wordpress theme nowadays. And I’m sure some other customers would like it.
