    How do I get my category pages to show teasers instead of the full blog posts? I am using the pretty theme, and as it is now, the category pages show full blog posts. Example page here:

    Go to your Genesis settings, scroll down and look for Content Archive - select Display Post Exerpt and whatever else you want. Or you can select Display Post Content but put a character limit of how much to show.


    Need help with customization or troubleshooting? Reach out to me.

    I am trying to do this as well, but it just show the thumbnails.

    Here is a screenshot of my settings:

    This is the category page in question:

    I also tried Bill Erickson's Genesis Grid plugin as well as the Genesis Post Teasers plugin to accomplish this. Any help is really appreciated since I'm running out of ideas.

    Thanks very much.
