Hi,
I’d like to make some changes to the layout of the Blog/Category page. I want to change how much of post is shown, and I’d also like to make the entire post for the most recent entry visible.
The way the blog is set up now means that users need to click to read even the most recent entry, which isn’t really very user friendly.
Could you give me some suggestions? I’m not sure which .php file is defining the structure and layout of the Blog sections.
Thanks

Hi Sasha, I’d like a little more information about what you’re looking for. You’d like to have the blog category page display only some of the blog posts and users have to click something like “continue reading”? Or would you like that one as how all the blog posts lists should be displayed?
The .php files that change this are as follows and can be found in the /wp-content/themes/apppress/
individual blog post – single.php
individual page post – page.php
the home page with all the blog posts – index.php
displaying blog posts for an archive or specific category – archive.php
Let me know is this helps you or not.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the reply.
I’ve changed the archive.php page so that the entire entry is shown, rather than just the preview snippet. This way a reader sees the whole article when they click on the blog link.
It’s not perfect but it will do  What I would really like is for the first blog post to be displayed in its entirety and the rest of the entries on that page to be previews that you need to click “continue reading” to see the full article.
Don’t worry too much about this request, I have something that works now, but if you have any genius ideas I’d love to hear them
Cheers
Sasha
