Posts cutting off abruptly on main page view

    Hi all,

    I’m using the theme “Hemingway meets CognitiveCombine III”, and I really like it, but I have a problem with the fact that it cuts my posts off mid-word or mid-sentence on the main page.

    I think this looks really unprofessional, and I was hoping that someone hear could help me to fix it so that the whole post shows up rather than making people click the “read on” link!

    My WP blog is here: http://www.dvelopphotography.com/blog

    I did a search for this problem and couldn’t find anything (I also tried asking the designer directly, but two days after I asked he decided that he wasn’t providing support anymore!), so if this has already been covered I apologise and would be greatful if someone could point me in the right direction!

    Thanks,
    Cerys.

    Check your theme’s index file — is it using the_excerpt() in The_Loop?

    If so, edit that file and replace the_excerpt() with the_content().

    Thanks for the reply.
    I couldn’t find the code “the_excerpt()” anywhere- closest I came was “<?php $hemingway->excerpt() ?>”

    I tried replacing “excerpt” with “content()” and “the_content()” but that just makes the page cut off after the title…

    Here’s the block of code that comes before that, if it’s any help:

    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
				<?php $first = true; ?>
				<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
					<div class="story<?php if($first == true) echo " first" ?>">
						<h3><?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
						<?php $hemingway->excerpt() ?>

    In case anyone else has this problem, I’ll quickly show how I fixed it:

    HandySolo is right that what you want to change is “the_excerpt()” to “the_content()”, HOWEVER if you search for that term nothing will come up because of some interesting coding on the designers part.

    <?php $hemingway->excerpt() ?>
    This is what you want to edit. In order to make it show the whole post, you have to remove that string, and write a new one:

    <?php the_content(); ?>

    Aaaand, that’s it. You’re done. I know there was at least one other person asking about this particular problem whose question was never answered (and yet one after he asked was answered. Right now I am not very impressed with this designer, even while I appreciate the work he pu into his themes.) so I hope he finds this useful!
