   Hi, recently installed vanilla WordPress at

   http://www.yingtong.co.uk/training

   I have posted to the blog and on the front page the url displays as expected, but if I filter on the category (online resources) the text is not hyperlinked. In MySQL the post content is

   Up to date Resuscitation Guidelines

   Something obvious I am sure ...

   Go through the index.php, find any
   the_excerpt
   and replace them with
   the_content

   See what that does ?

   Wow, under 5 mins to respond, not bad!

   Slightly embarrassed now... which index.php?

   Under the main blog site it only contains

   <?php
   /* Short and sweet */
   define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
   require('./wp-blog-header.php');
   ?>

   It's in the themes directory :)

   Presentation > theme editor
   then it's called index.php or main template

   or using ftp:

   Look in other files also, specifically archive.php

   Bingo. Thanks

   Now the consequence of that seems to be that the code is wrong or am I missing the point, in which case how does it get back to the developers. You obviously had a hunch before we started...

   I had heard the support here was good, and so far 10/10

   Cheers

   No, the concept is not wrong... just how it was designed. If you want links to show up in the excerpt, don't have WP "fake it" - copy that portion you want to show in the excerpt textarea.

   You can also use a plugin... http://guff.szub.net/the-excerpt-reloaded

   or use the_excerpt_rss() with the parameter to display html... http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt_rss

   Or..... get another theme. The default has some ... hmm... idiosyncrasies :)
