Change Category page to just excerpts

Posted in: Newspaper

Great theme but I’m having an issue with one thing – we want the category pages to display just excerpts of the articles, but by default they show the full article. How do I automatically make the page show only excerpts? I tried the “Excerpts” window in the Theme Panel but that doesn’t do anything. I’ve read that you can change “the_content” to “the_excerpt” in regular WordPress template files but I don’t see that code in the theme’s template files. How can I accomplish this? Thanks for your help!

Choose a “module” for the categories, and then they show only excerpts.

To change for all categories

theme panel > templates > categories > choose module for layout (e.g., M9)

OR: custom layout per category
go to theme panel > categories > choose category, set the module layout you want

Like so, (one of my test sites; still under construction …)
