[resolved] Displaying incorrectly on the home page but fine on single page post (8 posts)

    Very unusual problem, at least i think it is.

    My front page is not displaying the pages the same way it would if i view a single post. Its not dealing with tags at all and the formatting isnt working either.

    I also was wondering if there was a way to get some blank breaks to work as well.

    I started with Media Master 4.1 by Mass Media Group theme and modified it to fit my color and style scheme.

    I would really appreciate any help if possible

    To see what I mean, http://www.swfansite.com

    and compare that to clicking on that first post as a single page, you will see what I mean.

    Thank you very much in advanced

    This seems to be a problem with the Media Master Theme. On line 37, you will find something that looks like the following:

    <div class="entry">
    <?php print character_limiter($post->post_content,650); ?>&nbsp;<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Read More</a>

    The problem here is that the author is using $post->post_content raw with no filtering which will not allow shortcodes to function properly. Please try the following:

    <div class="entry">
    <?php the_content(); ?>

    Oh thank you so so much! That worked, may I ask about trying to make the end of a paragraph have a little more space to it? Like double space that? Sorry if I am not being clear, but if you look back at the page now after that correction. I would like to see some space between the first line of the post and the next line of the post (i hit a carriage return between them)

    I am guessing that is in the css file? I have been trying to learn but my skills are still a bit lacking haha.

    Thank you so much for that first resolve, that was amazing.

    No Problem :)
    Add the following code to the bottom of style.css:

    .entry{padding-bottom:1em}
