when people go to the category pages of my website i want them only to be able to see the titles of each post and no post snippets how do i do this in wordpress?
It could be difficult if you're not familiar with Wordpress and PHP. Does your theme have a category.php file? If so, find the post section in it and remove the content parts, leaving just the post title. If you don't have a category.php file, open archive.php and save it as category.php. This will prevent any changes from messing up the calendar and search results. Remove the post content parts as above, and maybe replace the heading elseif block with <?php echo single_cat_title(); ?>.
