I’ve upgraded Adobe-Masters.com from Wordpress 2.6 to 2.6.1 last week and ran into the problem of page excerpts not working on the home page.

As a solution I’ve uploaded the the_excerpt Reloaded plugin and used the following code
< ?php the_excerpt_reloaded(45, '', 'content', true, '', true);?>
inside my index file to display just the excerpts on the main page.

Later, I discovered that when you click on a category, it shows the post within that category in full. This type of presentation is not attractive to readers and excerpt descriptions are more desirable.

The problem arose again when browsing the archives or using the site’s search feature. Lorelle was right. I had to modify the following files to fix the problem: index.php, archives.php, and search.php.

Because I’m using The Excerpt Reloaded plugin, it was a change from
< ?php the_excerpt() ?>

to
< ?php the_excerpt_reloaded(45, '', 'content', true, '', true);?>
