Custom text for Post listing

[pjwdesign]

Is it possible to have a custom text intro on the Post Category list page. So this text is unique and does not appear on the 'detail' page. ie Rather than the first say 500 characters or using the <--More--> tag.

Many thanks

Try the archive intro text field on the category archive page.

Thanks for reply Brad. Perhaps dd not explain clearly. The 'archive intro' intro is for the whole page/category? I was hoping to make each post intro unique not just an extract from the post detail page. Hope that's clear

If its for the excerpt then you can use the excerpt meta box located on all Edit Post screens.

Thanks Brad - I have tried this, suspect I have to do a bit more though. There is a page which explains the excerpt on WordPress

https://codex.wordpress.org/Excerpt

Below is significant I think? Not sure if something can be done in functions.php

The relationship between the three is this: When a post has no manual excerpt and the post template uses the the_excerpt() template tag, WordPress generates an excerpt automatically by selecting the first 55 words of the post. When the post template uses the the_content() template tag, WordPress will look for the More tag and create a teaser from the content that precedes the More tag.
