    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.
