   Hi,

   I want my posts to be default Full, with the "Read More" option available in the WP Admin Panel, as stated here:

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More

   Right now, my theme template has Excerpt to default and a "Read More" link by default :(

   The above Tutorial (at link) says I need to replace "the template tag the_content() with the_excerpt()." However, I tried that, and it still truncates my posts.

   Any ideas on how I'd mod the code below, so that all I have to do is use the "Read More" option in the Admin Panel?

   Thanks

   <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   <div class="postMeta"><span class="date"><?php the_time('M j, Y') ?></span><span class="comments"><?php comments_popup_link('0', '1', '%'); ?></span></div>
   <h2>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title() ?></h2>
   <h5>Categories: <?php the_category(', '); ?></h5>
   <div class="entry">
   <div id="introIMG"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></div>
   <p><?php the_content_rss('', TRUE, '', 82); ?> " title="Read More">Read More</p>
   </div>

   .

   the_content() will show full post by default unless you put the <!--more--> tag in your post.

   the_excerpt() will show a shorter version of your post content or custom excerpt that you specify.

   You shouldn't have changed it actually.

   My tag is currently:

   php the_content

   .... and it's still truncating the posts.

   As poppacket said, search for all occurrences of the_excerpt and change them to the_content. The file in my theme is index.php where you need to make this change.

   It's been a few months, so you've probably solved this already; this reply is just for other poor souls who may be searching for this info.

   Maybe you made the same mistake as the OP: the_content and the_content_rss are two very different things!

   At least, that's what it was in cstina's code, so no wonder it didn't show the full content!
