Use Excerpts for your PureBlog summaries

With the PureBlog theme, I generally recommend using the excerpts option because it gives a much better look and feel when it relates to using featured images and the style of the post date. The problem when not using excerpts is that your summary will look messy and unprofessional if you were to have HTML formatting or inserted media like images and videos above the “Read More” portion of your post.

Enable Excerpts

  1. Go to Appearance >> Customize >> Theme Options
  2. Find the “Use Excerpts” setting and make sure it’s checked.

Excerpt Size

  1. Go to Appearance >> Customize >> Theme Options
  2. Find the “Excerpt Size” setting and either type in the number of words, or use the up/down arrows on the right side of the field. NOTE: The arrows will show when you mouseover the field.
