Advanced Excerpts tried to retain the tags (unlike Homepage Excerpts) but didn't manage to close them all correctly (like WordPress) so the page didn't validate. Post Teaser seems to do the job. </p> <p>I, too, would like to get it to do mullet style but I'm out of time. I may try to figure it out for my next site. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/displaying-teaser-in-mullet-format-in-wordpress-loop#post-838 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 12:04:10 +0000 Erin 838@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Another option: Justin Tadlock's guide for replacing content with an excerpt on the front page using filters: <a href="http://justintadlock.com/archives/2008/08/24/replacing-wordpress-content-with-an-excerpt-without-editing-theme-files." rel="nofollow">http://justintadlock.com/archives/2008/08/24/replacing-wordpress-content-with-an-excerpt-without-editing-theme-files.</a></p> <p>You would have to go an extra step to produce a mullet-style though; Jason's code produces excerpts only. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/displaying-teaser-in-mullet-format-in-wordpress-loop#post-831 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 15:55:11 +0000 Ian Stewart 831@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Maybe this: <a href="http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/wiki/PostTeaser" rel="nofollow">http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/wiki/PostTeaser</a> </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/displaying-teaser-in-mullet-format-in-wordpress-loop#post-830 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 15:46:04 +0000 BrightBold 830@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Eew. Not only does it strip tags but it uses tables. I'm going to try the_excerpt_reloaded to see if that works better and I will report back. That will involve editing the template though I believe. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/displaying-teaser-in-mullet-format-in-wordpress-loop#post-813 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 03:01:00 +0000 BrightBold 813@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Ian recommended to me in another thread a plugin called Homepage Excerpts, which can be found at:<br /> <a href="http://www.dailyblogtips.com/homepage-excerpts-wordpress-plugin/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailyblogtips.com/homepage-excerpts-wordpress-plugin/</a></p> <p>I am just starting to play with it and have some concerns (it seems to be stripping some tags) but that said it is working better than the "more" tag which was leaving tags unclosed and breaking my page. I may look into some other excerpt plugins and compare. A plugin may be the solution to your problem as well. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/displaying-teaser-in-mullet-format-in-wordpress-loop#post-804 Mon, 13 Oct 2008 15:36:12 +0000 jhelvy 804@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>I am trying to figure out a way to display the excerpt or teaser from my posts instead of the full post on my blog page. Am I missing something? I thought this might be a built in feature but I cannot figure out a way to change the display settings. Of course I could always add the &lt;!--more--&gt; tag in every post, but I would prefer it to be automated. Anyone got any suggestions? I would prefer to not have to change the main index template. </p>
