Hello, i’m newbie with this kind of stuff so i want to use Toujours theme – https://wordpress.com/theme/toujours
but i can’t find possibility to minimize my posts on main page(like posts expert). But on screenshots of this theme you can see post, which looks short, not full version. So, please help me to change posts vision to short versions with continue reading button. Thanks.

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,

It looks like you sorted this out by using the More Tag on your posts, so I’ll mark this as resolved. If you still have questions about this topic, feel free to reply.

Hi there,

I checked your site http://shprd95.wordpress.com/
I see few posts have excerpts and few don’t.
Follow these steps to add excerpt to a Blog Post
– Edit the post you want to shorten
– Click on Insert Read More tag button (dotted line between two lines)
– Drag —MORE— line from where you want to limit the post
– Click on Update

Also, you can try adding your custom read more message in HTML section.
Refer this link for detailed info

Hope this helps!

@krutidugade: No worries. Thanks for providing some extra details there. :)

how to add search bar to header behind primary menu

@shprd95: It isn’t possible to do this. However, you can add a Search Widget to your widget areas.

Here are a few other themes that have a built in search feature towards the top:

https://wordpress.com/theme/academica

https://wordpress.com/theme/edin

https://wordpress.com/theme/ryu

Not all of the themes at the link below will have that feature, but I’ve pulled the ones above from here:

@tommysaustralianlife: Those only appear when you are logged into WordPress.com with edit access to the site. If you view the site while not logged in, you won’t see those links. Your site visitors won’t see them or have access to edit your site.

If you have other questions about this, could you open a new thread so we can assist you there?
