   Hi folks, I need your assistance here, so please, thinking caps on...

   The images on the home page of my blog http://www.hottest-toys-for-christmas.com show fine but those in single posts dont!

   Here's a link to a single post : http://www.hottest-toys-for-christmas.com/category/nightmare-before-christmas-toys/

   The single post appears to have a link in parenthesis that point to a post in which the images show (to view associated entry please click here)

   When you click on the links at the top of the page (which is a category list, the links default to /category/single post but, on clicking on the link (to view associated entry please click here), the page is domain/single post.

   Question, how do I make the category links point directly to "domain/single post" which appears to show images, instead of "domain/category/single post" which does not show images?

   Your assistance and advice would be greatly appreciated.

   Those aren't single posts- they're category pages. You've created a category for each toy, and list_categories doesn't create links through to each of the actual posts you've made, but to an archive of all of the posts in that category.

   If you want a list of posts, you might start by having a look at query_posts.

   Good luck!

   I suspect Joshuwar is correct with your links pointing to a "category" page. This "category" page is displaying "the_excerpt" of the post.

   This can be corrected by changing the method of displaying the posts to using "the_content" which does display the entire post including images.

   You may need to create true category pages to accomplish this, as some themes will simply use the archive.php file as a catch-all for displaying categories.

   This page may help you with sorting out the categories: http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates

   Joshuwar and cais, thank you so much, sorry for the delayed response.. blame it on work and travel.

   The link you provided cais is awesome.. I'm not a coder or programmer, and everything I do is mostly thru trial and error, (it's worked great so far).

   I will check both your links guys and see how it pans out.

   If no luck, can I rely upon you to assist with the actual code?

   Thank you once again.

   I hope you are able to sort out the issues on your own; personally, I find it to be quite satisfying when I solve a code issue that initially eludes me.

   Good Luck and clear code!
