Great post. I really need some help. I have set border lines around my excerpts on my blog page/post page. The problem is my excerpts are touching the borderline on the left and the right. Could you please help me with some codes to set left and right paddings around my excerpt?

Hi Shiba! First, congrats for your post, it’s very good and detailed.

So, I have a problem with excerpt function and I’m newbie related to HTML/CSS/PHP/etc.

I have excerpt in the front page featured pages (img1) and in which page I begin with a quote (img3) which I don’t want to appear in the front page. How do I remove it? Using a filter? Which? How?

If you could help me I would be very thankful. I’m building this site as a gift for my parent who has an architecture company but doesn’t have money to pay for one web designer. It’s kinda surprise and I want the site to be good, pleasant and comfortable.

If you want I can turn the website visible, just contact me by email!

Thanks for your great tutorial!
I did everything without point 2 and I have nothing with “excerpt” in my css-Style Sheet. (I use an old theme, but it looks nice)

But I have two “problems” with it:
1. My thumbnail is above my excerpt-text!
2. I want, that my excerpt-text is with the html-tags from my article, if I have no excerpt written.

Have you a tipp for these two “problems”?

Hi, Thank your very much for these clear instructions!

I’ve tried very hard to code without success.

What I’m trying to do is have the most recent post show in full and all others excerpt with thumbnail exactly like what you see here: http://www.theminimalists.com/

My website is askatoddler.com

Thank you very much for your help.

Very good job, thank you! But if there is not an image in the post? Could you rewrite the code to get any default image in this case, please!

In reply to Mat Wigley. Hmmm, I can't seem to get to your archive page. Send me a link and I will have a look.
