I have the same problem. When I press the “Continue reading” it´s linked to the page that I´m already in. So I can´t read the hole post.
And the post shows in a weird way. First it shows the most recently written post with a “continue reading” button, then four posts end up in a row horizontally, and then the rest of the posts shows as normal under that.
I want all my posts to show the hole content as a normal blog. Is that possible?
Here you can see the page: peterstromberg.se/wordpress/nyheter
None of that helps me. Still the same problem:
I’ve got two pages, The homepage and one other. I make a blog post and it shows up on the homepage, but only the first few lines followed by a button marked “continue reading”. The problem is that the button directs right back to the same page, The homepage. Where’s the rest of the post?
BTW- Under “Pages>All Pages” I have just one page named “about” with this url “http://localhost:8888/wordpress_FUPsite/about/”
My home page has this url “http://localhost:8888/wordpress_FUPsite/”

I added an image to the post. No luck. Still have just the summary on the front page with the button just links to the summary on the same page.
Okay, I threw out all my pages and menus, but a homepage still displays at the url “http://localhost:8888/wordpress_FUPsite/”. So why doesn’t this “homepage” show up in the dashboard at “>Pages>All Pges”?
I switched over to the theme Twenty Fourteen. Now all the problems I listed above are gone. It’s just really ugly out-of-the-box 🙁
I have still problem with my posts. When I click on Continue reading it links to the same page so I can´t read the hole post. How do I fix that?
create a new page, call it ‘posts’ but leave it blank. Then go back to your dashboard-settings-reading, click on the reading then you’ll see some choices about whether you show your lists of posts. Create a few and you’ll see that you can choose what content page you use for ‘home’ and which page for ‘posts’. it’s easier at the start to create a new blank page with some blurb about you, call it ‘home’ for example.
I don’t use the auto one called ‘about’. Just create two pages, a one about you, call it home say, and a blank page just called ‘posts’ and then go to the settings-reading page and select the down arrow, front page shows ‘static page’ and you can then select which static page you’ve made e.g. one about you….and then another page for the posts….experiment and you’ll see. Continue reading link will only link back to the page that your posts is already set to display which maybe already the ‘home’ or ‘about’ page. But create some new blank pages called home and posts and you’ll see more options. Then the posts will display one under the other on the posts page in a brief form and then you click in further or ‘continue reading’ to read the whole post.
ps remember to add the posts page into your menus controls and click the tick to add it to your menu design. see dashboard-appearance-menu, then tick your ‘posts’ page to ‘add to menu’ and you see you can then drag it around to place it where you want on your menu bar.
@vanessajw thanks for your help. I still have problems though. Expound seems to generate a “Front” page automatically which doesn’t show up on the dashboard under”Pages” and this is where my posts display as summaries only. These summaries then link right back to the same “Front” page. I tried adjusting the “reading” settings which results in multiple Pages with summaries but still no complete blog posts.
can you see your posts in your dashboard and edit them in full there? They must be somewhere in full?
@vanessajw thanks for your help.
Okay, So my posts are appearing on my homepage as summaries. When I edit posts I can see that “slugs” have been generated. So where is the page that the slug is pointing to? The headlines of the posts on the front page only link back to the front page. So how do I end up with pages for my posts, each post? And how do I get the summaries to link to the post page?
Sorry I can’t point you to my website because I’m working on a local server.
Do I have to manually make a page for each post? And if so, how do I get the post summaries to link to that page?
I don’t know what slugs are. But when you write your post, in the edit window, just above is a blue button saying ‘view page’ or presumably post, try clicking that and see where the full post shows up. If it’s full at all, it will show up.
Make a blank ‘page’ (not post) call it/title it ‘posts’ or whatever e.g. say ‘news’ and then point your settings to show your ‘posts’ to that page, yes they will show a summary list, click each entry title and you should show the whole post! it must be somewhere. Unless your posts are very short but even then it should show up on a lone page with probably a lot space round it.
