[resolved] Turning off summary in category/tag view (3 posts)

    I am migrating the website/blog of the music school that I work for over to WP from FTP blogger, since they have dropped support for FTP upload. I am hopeful that I can pass of administering the site to the school's receptionist once the migration is complete, since WP is so user-friendly. One of the things that I /Don't/ like about WP is the summary function, though.

    http://www.harmonymusicstudio.com/test/ is where the initial setup is. I have to import each post individually because there's no easy way to do it if they're not loaded on blogger's server, so the most recent posts are old. You can see there that there are a lot of music-related youtube embedded videos here. If you click on the youtube tag, you get this page:
    http://www.harmonymusicstudio.com/test/?tag=youtube which has NO videos on it! The same thing happens when you go to the "just for fun" category.

    I have already gone into settings> reading> and set it to "display full posts" but I can't find anywhere else to change this setting so it will not display summaries on these pages. Help, please?

    You will need to edit archive.php in your theme's folder and change this line:

    <div class="postContent"><?php the_excerpt('(Read the rest of this entry...)'); ?></div>

    to this:

    <div class="postContent"><?php the_content('(Read the rest of this entry...)'); ?></div>
