Enabling full post on main page? (3 posts)

    Heya folks.

    I'm still getting the hang of WordPress, and I'm pretty sure that I've read every damn page in the settings panel, but I can not for the life of me figure out how to get the ENTIRE text (including custom fields) to appear on the front page of my site. It looks like the posts are being truncated after a few lines.

    So how do I get around this? I'm not seeing an option in the control panel.

    hi

    you have to modify the theme file. if you are using the default home page display, it will probably be index.php.

    the tag for truncated posts is the_excerpt(). if you replace the_excerpt() with the_content() you will have the full post content on your home page.

    that is not going to include custom fields, however. they require additional coding. this page will help:

    Thanks for the answer.
    It may be in a different file depending on you theme and front page setting. In my case the I needed to modify page.php
