Introducing Content Options: An Easy New Way to Make Visual Changes to Your Site

WordPress.com News

We’re excited to announce a newly launched Customizer panel called Content Options.

The Content Options section gives you an easy way to make small visual modifications across your site—like hiding the post date or displaying an excerpt instead of a full post, with no custom CSS needed!

There are three main features for now:

• Blog Display: choose between displaying the full content of each post or an excerpt on the blog and category, tag, and date archive pages. A “default” option is also available for themes that mix excerpts and full posts based on post format.
• Author Bio: Hide the author bio on single posts.
• Post Details: Show or hide the post date, tags, or categories.

You can see Content Options in action in this video:

Check out the full support documentation to learn more about how these new theme options work.

Not all the themes support all these features…

A Life in a Flawed Body

You are the one who sets the tone, you place the bar no matter how high or low. You pave the way for every man that comes in after you.
Your the one who’s standards determine our standards before we even realize that we are supposed to have standards
Your the one we all believe in, no if and or buts, we hold on for so long no matter if your right or if your wrong it’s you that we want flaws and all, it’s standing on your shoulders when we conquer them all.
