   Hi guys and gals,

   I was just redoing my site and decided to use the Suffusion theme because I didn't really want to get into any php editing at the moment and it had a plethora of options.

   Alas, I came across a problem. Any post that is shown on my home page is fully functional in all aspects other than the fact that hyperlinks do not work. On my site http://www.tylermolz.com (yes I realize it is ugly at the moment, just want get everything functional before I make it pretty) the post "Test Page"'s text content should be a hyperlink. The image works as a link, the title works as a link, but the text seems to be dead.

   What's even stranger is that I categorized it as "Games" for testing sake and when I go to the games page the link is displayed and functional there. I have no idea where to begin on solving this problem, it is only the Suffusion theme, works fine on others, but I would like to stick with this theme because it is so easy to edit.

   If you have any ideas or have a similar problem, let me know.

   Oh, and I have tried changing permalinks from my custom set up of /%postname%/%post_id%/ to default, didn't work. I have also deleted and reinstalled the theme, and then I deleted and reinstalled WordPress. Nothing.

   Thanks for any help you can offer,

   - Tyler

   The entire post text? That's pretty unusual and I'm fairly sure that this is not the way that Suffusion was designed to work. The post's title is a link - which is far more standard.

   Well the only reason the entire text was a link was because that is all I was testing. There is more text there now and still doesn't work.

   The post's title is a link - which is far more standard.

   It is not so much the fact that I cannot create a link to the post itself from within the post, but to anywhere. For example I changed the link to go to tigsource.com . So if I wanted to link to any other site or anything other than the post itself, I cannot do that from the home page. I can live without it, but it seems weird to not be able to do that.

   It's a while since I looked at Suffusion's template files but I'm guessing that it's using the_excerpt() instead of the_content(). The former removes all formatting from the post teaser.

   the_excerpt() instead of the_content()

   Aha, well don't I feel like an ass. I had the post display set to show excerpt instead of full content, I just changed it to full content and it works fine now.

   Thanks for the help there, I probably would have skimmed over my settings for days before finally remembering that.
