This problem was annoying me because WordPress themes may show the full content of every single post when you visit a category page or archives page, and I didn’t want that. I poked around the WordPress API and it turns out that you can just use a text editor (or the built in WordPress theem Editor) and search for function the_content() and change it to the_excerpt(). Simple!

These changes can be applied to the following files:

• index.php
• category.php
• archive.php
• archives.php
• search.php
