I know people have asked about this in the past and I read in a WP support forum from a year ago that this option would be added in future versions – has it been? Before I tackle this customization, I want to make absolute sure I haven’t missed it somewhere in the existing settings.
Thanks
*UPDATE* I replaced the post-content line in loop.php with the code necessary for the excerpt {impatient} since that was easy enough – new problem is that the featured image is not displaying. Anywhere. Mobile, PC or Mac. Help appreciated! xo

Hi Jamila
Thanks for reaching out. It’s been a while since I’ve looked at this so I needed to test myself quickly. For interest sake the changelog is here: http://updates.siteorigin.com/readme/origami/
Origami unfortunately doesn’t make use of the except field. The more tag does however work. We had some issues with the more tag working in the Post Loop widget previously. That’s been resolved.

Does the more tag not suit your purposes here?
Thank you Andrew. The more tag is definitely helpful, I will try using that for now.
fyi – interesting about the excerpt field for origami: it does work when you replace on line 48 of loop.php with It is just that the featured images can’t get it together once posts are in excerpt mode – I was getting double featured images. So you guys are close!
that is to say: replace
<?php the_content(' '); ?>with
<?php if(is_singular()) the_content(' '); else the_excerpt(); ?>:)
Try something like this instead:
<?php if ( is_home() || is_category() || is_archive() ) { the_excerpt(); } else { the_content(); } ?>Please remember that this file needs to be stored in a child theme.
Thank you Andrew. I think the featured image might still pose an issue there, but I didn’t spend a lot of time on it. Alas, it has been 3 years of sweet simplicity, but I finally admitted: I have outgrown Origami. Switched over to Vantage. Onward & outward. Thanks again for your help.
Thanks for the update. For sure, Origami works great for a certain set of requirements.
Let us know if you need a hand in the future.
All the best.
Hi
For what it is worth, I have just implemented this on my site, exactly as Andrew has it above. Works well straight away.
