   I'm having a really weird problem, and I'm hoping someone can help me out. I recently applied the "Blix" theme to my blog, but found that all of my old posts are not showing up as they should. Rather, I'm seeing only the "excerpt" with a button under the post that states "continue reading."

   However, when I make a NEW post while the Blix theme is active, the full posts shows up on the main page (as it should).

   The old posts are there and in working order -- if I use any other theme, the full posts are visible on the main page. I'm not sure what is going on with the Blix theme; I've compared one of the old posts and a new post, and they look identical in terms of custom fields, etc. I don't see why Blix is only displaying the excerpt on my old posts.

   Ideas on why this is happening? Any help appreciated! :)

   Erm, Blix uses a lot of its own functions, making it a complicated beast to troubleshoot and customize. But basically it's outputting an excerpt of the post from its archive template (i.e. archive.php).

   Since I'm really not up for downloading it (again!) to look over, could you paste the archive.php template source here:

   http://paste.uni.cc/

   and reply back with the url you receive. With that I or someone else should be able to suggest changes to get what you're after.

   Hi Kafkaesqui, thanks for the reply...I've gone ahead and uploaded the archive.php file as you requested:

   http://paste.uni.cc/8441

   Any thoughts/ideas appreciated. :)

   You should ask the author of the theme - only he knows what kind of weird code he put in...

   Hey moshu...thanks for the reply. I've read on his website that he is providing absolutely ZERO support for his theme... Completely washed his hands of the project.

   I'm really at a completel loss here. I've looked at a mySQL dump and there is little to zero difference in the way an "archived" and non-archived post is structured.

   :(

   Maybe I'll just blow everything away and start fresh by manualy importing my posts.

   Any other ideas?

   If the author dumps his theme, I guess you're on your own.

   Some ideas though:
   1. You may dive into the nitty gritty of the theme yourself and be an expert. That's if you really love it :-)
   2. You may search the web for others using that theme to get further advice.
   3. You could follow the authors example and dump it for another supported theme - new themes emerge on a hasty pace.
