Installer Post loop read more
Is there a way to use only post excerpts with a home page post loop?
I’ve seen various references in the support to a child theme that fixes this, but they’re all about a year old. Is there a ‘native’ fix in Origami, or is a child theme still required?

5Hi EvilOverlord
The Post Loop supports the read more quicktag:

I’m not sure we’ve ever made a child theme to get the loop working with excerpts. If you can find one then perhaps give it a spin.
To make one you’d copy (not cut) loop.php from the parent theme and paste it into your child theme. Edit line 48 and replace:
<?php the_content(' '); ?>with
<?php the_excerpt(' '); ?>Andrew,
I was referring to comments like this, below:
“We do currently have a bug with the read more link in Origami. Here is a child theme you can try:

See these posts:
Thread: Origami – Plug ins post excerpt and font size
Thread: Problem after update of Page Builder – “Read more” ignored
The issue there was using the read more link in the Post Loop widget. We’ve since resolved the issue in the Post Loop widget.
The excerpt is something different.
Using the read more quicktag should be fine:

Thanks. My failure to understand the difference. A read more tag achieves the effect I was looking for.
Awesome :) Glad to hear you’re up and running with the more quicktag.
