What theme are you using?
It depends on the theme. But usually you will need to edit the template of your homepage (possibly index.php), where you would find <!--?php the_excerpt(); ?--> and replace it with <!--?php the_content(''); ?-->.
Hope that helps.
edit content.php – ideally in a child theme – and change this section:
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
<div class="entry-thumbnail">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" >
<?php the_post_thumbnail( 'thumb-featured' ); ?>
</a>
</div>
<div class="entry-summary">
<?php echo wpautop( $post->post_excerpt ? $post->post_excerpt : athemes_limit_string(strip_tags($post->post_content), 200) ); ?>
<!-- .entry-summary --></div>
<?php else : ?>
<div class="clearfix entry-content">
<?php the_content( __( 'Continue Reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'athemes' ) ); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'athemes' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
<!-- .entry-content --></div>
<?php endif; ?>
for instance, to:
<div class="clearfix entry-content">
<?php the_content( __( 'Continue Reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'athemes' ) ); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'athemes' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
<!-- .entry-content --></div>
do you want to keep the ‘featured image’ above the content?
Hi satrap and alchymyth,
I’m using the fashionistas theme.
alchymyth – if i replace the section above (which i found in the content.php file) with what is in your ‘for instance’ will that work to show the full posts both on the homepage and if i click on the category title (which are used in my menu as the blog pages)?
Sorry for the confusion…I’m a novice at coding.
Oh, and no, i don’t want a featured image since all the images will follow the brief text.
THANKS SO MUCH!
I also am trying to figure out how to make my posts show as full posts and not excerpts with a featured image. I do want to keep the featured image on my posts for “related posts”, but when I added the images the excerpts appeared.
I did not find “excerpt” anywhere in the Fashionistas theme css. Any advice?
