Hello. Is there a way (or plugin) to insert an image onto my homepage. If I add an image to a post, I have to click the post to see the image.
I want to add an image to the homepage to fill the gap between the bottom of my posts, the sidebar and footer widgets. If I try to add an image using the 'add post' function on the dashboard, the image doesn't appear on the homepage.
Can anybody suggest a solution to the above problem?
Many thanks.
Your theme may be using <?php the_excerpt();?> instead of <?php the_content();?> in its template files. Try editing your theme's index.php template file and replacing <?php the_excerpt();?> with <?php the_content();?>

Thanks for the advice esmi... However, I cannot see
<?php the_excerpt();?>anywhere in the code I have pasted the below. Might it be written in some other way?
<?php
// load the theme options
$options = get_option( 'mx_theme_settings' );
?>
<?php get_header(' '); ?>
<div id="post-content">
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'post' , 'entry') ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if (function_exists("pagination")) { pagination($additional_loop->max_num_pages); } ?>
</div>
<!-- END post-content -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<div class="clear"></div>
<?php get_footer(' '); ?>Try looking in post-entry.php.

Thanks esm, but when I change the following code from
`<div class="post-entry-content">
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(' ') ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php the_news_excerpt('500000','','','plain','no'); ?>
</div><!-- END post-entry-content -->`
to
<?php the_news_content(); ?>
I get the following error message
Fatal error: Call to undefined function the_news_content() in /home/bennoh/public_html/wp-content/themes/minimal-xpert/post-entry.php on line 13
Any advice?
