[resolved] Links in post not showing as links in category view (4 posts)

    Hi,
    I am not sure if I can describe this well but here goes: I have a posting category called "restock" and we use it to let customers know when we restock an item (duh). Anyway, we put the link to the restocked item in the post and it appears and works, no problem. BUT! If a customer clicks on the category "Restock" and views all the posts there, the linked items are no longer link items...get my meaning? The links show up in the original post and if you click on the post name, but not if viewed by going through the category (Actually, no post with links in it has the links show up if going through category). I suppose it could be generalized to say that if the link appears 'above' the 'more' line, it will not show up as a link...

    Any suggestions? I am using the Pressplay theme.

    Thanks in advance,
    Debbie

    So I think you're saying that when you go to "yoursite.com/category/restock", none of the links in the bodies of the post work?

    That's because on category archives (as well as tag, author, and date archives) the post just displays an excerpt. It's like that with most themes. You can change it by going into Appearance -> Editor, selecting "category.php" from the list of files on the right, and scrolling down until you find:

    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

    Change it to:

    <?php the_content(); ?>

    Thanks everyone. This was the same question I had as well.
