   I have set the site to use a static front-page, but for some reason it will only show an excerpt. The full page does exists and I have tried setting a few different static front pages to see if that would work.

   The template being used is a carbon copy of the default page template for the site, but I saved a seperate template file just in case the issue lay somewhere there.

   Is there something I am missing? There is no 'more' tag set either.

   Thanks

   Check if the page template doesn't use the_excerpt instead of the_content. That's the only thing I can think of as of now...

   Thanks Roy, but I checked that. The template is the same as all the other pages which show fully, just not the front page.

   Either there is a setting in some config file that I dont know about which relates to the front page, or there is a bug.

   AHA, sorry, my fault.

   fucntions.php:

   function my_excerpts($content = false) {
   // If is the home page, an archive, or search results
   if(is_front_page() || is_archive() || is_search()) :
   global $post;
   $content = $post->post_excerpt;

   I've got a feeling that that will do it!

   looks like you have to exchange is_front_page() with is_home()

   hey ee0u30eb,

   Did you get this working? I'm having the same trouble...

   I attempted to paste your code into the functions.php file but couldn't get it to work.

   Any pointers would be wonderful.

   Cheers

   Hi Gus,

   Yep got it working. The problem is this part:

   is_front_page()

   delete that so you will now have:

   function my_excerpts($content = false) {
   // If is the home page, an archive, or search results
   if(is_archive() || is_search()) :
   global $post;
   $content = $post->post_excerpt;

   followed by the rest of your function.php code

   Let me know how you get on.

   Tom

   Hi Tom,

   Thanks so much for your hasty response!

   For some reason as soon as i posted this it started working properly and i can't quite understand why?!!

   It think it must have been something to do with a load of redundant pluggins i just deleted as one of them was a post excerpt length restrictor.

   In any case i'm sure your code above will be very handy if the problem crops up on another build.

   All the best and thanks again

   Gus
