WP admin - Help needed!

I recently changed host and re-installed WP(2.6).
Now I couldn't find that option in WP admin that defines how many words of each post should be displayed as a preview on a home page.

Can anyone help me locate that option?
Thanks

 

it will be in WP-admin > Settings > Writing like YourDomain.com/wp-admin/options-writing.php

 

login into admin panel > under settings > choose writing tab > there select ur desired options.

 

Guys, I'm not seeing that option at WP-admin > Settings > Writing!
Are you sure??

 

^
I think that's a plugin

 

Do you know what that plugin is?

 

Not too sure, but it might be http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-excerpt/

 

einsteinsboi, thanks for your response. However, I've installed that plugin and it didn't work... Is there any other ways to fix this issue?

 

hmm try this:
replace the

<?php the_content; ?>

Code (markup):

with

<?php the_content_rss('', TRUE, '', X); ?>

Code (markup):

where X is the number of characters that you want.

 

Didn't work

 

What is the url of your blog?

This problem most likely depends on your theme. Some of the newer, premium styl themes have an options panel in the themes tap that you can change this or you can edit the following code.

Find this in home.php

<?php the_content; ?>

Code (markup):

Replace with this

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

Code (markup):

 

I am using wp 2.6.2 and 2.6.3 and i can use this feature.

 

In the meantime I upgraded to 2.6.2 and I'm still not seeing it..

craiger22 -- that worked well just for snipping the posts without adding the 'more..' link.
I've finally found a plugin that worked: The Excerpt Reloaded
