   Hey,

   Does anyone know how I can make the categories of my blog show the full page when you view it in the archives.

   So when you view an archives date, a tag, or even do a search the results always come back with the blog title, no image, and the first paragraph with this on the end: [...]

   But when you click on a category on my blog, I want it to display the whole post including an image and the full paragraph.

   I've seen this somewhere before but I can't remember, so I'm pretty sure it is possible.

   Any help is appreciated.

   Thanks.

   Depending on your theme, it is probably controlled in the archive.php file. Find the_excerpt() and replace with the_content().

   I just edited:

   <p><?php if ( is_category($vidcat) ) { the_content(); } else { echo strip_tags(get_the_content(), '<a><strong>'); } ?></p>

   But it didn't work how I wanted it.

   It didn't display the images and add the space between each paragraph.

   Can you post a link to a page that shows the problem? What was the code before you edited it?

   The code you showed will only display the full content for the category specified in $vidcat. If what you want is the full content for all categories, you can change it to this:

   <p><?php the_content(); ?></p>

   In archive.php, I had this:

   <p><?php if ( is_category($vidcat) ) { the_content(); } else { echo strip_tags(get_the_excerpt(), '<a><strong>'); } ?></p>

   I edited it to be:

   <p><?php if ( is_category($vidcat) ) { the_content(); } else { echo strip_tags(get_the_content(), '<a><strong>'); } ?></p>

   And here is a category page: http://www.lilwaynehq.com/category/audio/

   Looks like you need to try just <p><?php the_content(); ?></p>.

   echo strip_tags(get_the_content(), '<a><strong>');
   Will strip images from the (full) content.
   Why don't you use:

   <p><?php if (is_category()) { the_content(); } else { echo strip_tags(get_the_content(), '<a><strong>'); } ?></p>

   Now you have full posts with pictures on category pages and on other pages you will have full posts without pictures.

   But from what I can see u make use of the_excerpt(); somewhere because you have those [...] thingies on your category page.

   I think the original code had get_the_excerpt();

   <p><?php if ( is_category($vidcat) ) { the_content(); } else { echo strip_tags(get_the_excerpt(), '<a><strong>'); } ?></p>

   Yeah but that is changed and the category page still uses the excerpt somewhere because of the "[...]".

   echo strip_tags(get_the_content(), '<a><strong>');
   This will give you a full post without images and no "[...]".

   So I suggest to just use:
   <p><?php the_content(); ?></p>
   And see if anything changes.

   And also check with in_category() in stead of is_category()
