   Hi

   I have enabled my homepage to display blog posts. Some of the posts however have links, but these are disabled on the homepage. Any way to enable them? I was reading about the "the_content_rss" method and thought changing it would solve my problem, but no luck. It is as follows:

   <?php the_content_rss('', TRUE, '', 37); ?>

   There is supposed to be a fifth parameter, encode_html, that I thought would enable links, but that didn't seem to work either, unless something else went wrong. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

   Your theme may be using <?php the_excerpt();?> instead of <?php the_content();?> in the home page template file. Simply edit the relevant template file and replace <?php the_excerpt();?> with <?php the_content();?>.

   @esmi,

   Thanks for the response! Unfortunately, I am looking at my theme's index.php file and there is no the_excerpt() usage. Here's the pertinent code for posts:

   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <div <?php post_class(); ?>>
   <?php include("firstimage.php"); ?>
   <?php include("thumbnail.php"); ?>
   <h2 class="posttitle">
        <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"
        title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php
        the_title(); ?></a>
   </h2>
   <small class="postMeta">
        <span class="time"><?php the_time('F j, Y') ?></span>
        &nbsp;&nbsp;
        <span class="authorLink">
             <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?>
        </span>
        &nbsp;&nbsp;
        <span class="commentLink">
              <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '%
              Comments'); ?>
        </span>
   </small>
   <p><?php the_content_rss('', TRUE, '', 37); ?> </p>
   <span class="button alignright">
        <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Continue Reading</a>
   </span>

   Thanks for any additional insight.

   I just found that there are even plugins available to handle excerpt , @philbonsai you can use any of those plugins and see whether it solves the problem.
