How to Stop Showing the Full Post in Archives With a Genesis WordPress Theme

The content archives on your WordPress site will list the various posts that you have put into those archives. Typically this is for things like your categories and your tags.

But you may find that, when you open one of those archives, you are seeing the full post content for each post in that archive. This can be undesirable for a couple of different reasons, and it’s likely that this is something you will want to change. Our tutorial below will show you how to change the content archive settings for your Genesis theme so that you only show a short excerpt of each post instead.
