• I just set up categories for my blog and added posts to them. The problem is, when you click on a category it only shows a few lines of the post and then it says “view full post”. I want it to automatically display the full post. Any idea how to do this? When it’s in my “uncategorized” (default) category then it displays the full post but not when you click on my individual categories.

    But I have seen this work one other blogs… for example check out http://www.sarahlanestudios.com/blog and go to her drop down of categories. if you click on any of the categories, the full posts are shown with her images. That is what I am tryin to do. So there must be a way to do it, I just don’t know how. Thanks for your help!

    Hi sagediva,

    Sarahlane makes me scroll an awfull lot, but:

    check your theme directory for a file called category.php
    In that file replace the_excerpt by the_content
    after make a safe copy of the file to your computer.

    So make it <?php the_content(''); ?>

    Thanks you Henk, I tried it but cannot find anything in that file that says the_excerpt. The closest thing I could find is this:

    <?php p2_print_content_or_excerpt( ‘category’ ); ?>

    Any ideas? Thanks again!

    What theme are you using, and where is your website? maybe we can help some more if we know that. Did you create the theme yourself or are you using a downloaded one?

    thanks, I am actually using a downloaded theme, and here is my blog:

    http://www.tresorimages.com/blog

    if you check the categories section and click on them, you will see it only gives an excerpt. i think i checked a box somewhere in setting it up that says to display the full post so i am at a loss as to what is going on. thanks for any help you can provide!

    Nice theme, that’s a paid one right?` their support section seems like it would be good to check out. If you paid for this, you should ask how to display full content on archive and category pages with the theme you bought in their support forum. Did you try that yet? There might be an option built into the theme somewhere, its worth a try before we try to help you hack around your theme.

    otherwise the previous suggestions are a good start.

    Go in your WP Dashboard an look under Appearance” > “P2 Options”

    The code you showed suggests it is a theme setting.
