You need to edit your theme. For the purpose of showing the summary of every post too you will need to call summary from the database using the php. Consider using <?php the_excerpt ?> You should add that below the php of title and featured image.
There may be other problem too like may be you have inserted break through in the post, consider checking the posted content too 🙂 Also give me the url of your blog, let me check that 🙂
You actually should NOT be editing the theme directly – as your changes will be overwritten when the theme is updated. For those kinds of changes, use a Child Theme – http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes.
Hi there,
I really appreciate the advice from both of you, but the thing is, I don’t think it’s down to the particular theme. EVERY theme I load up does it, even if, in the example, they have full posts. Even themes I have used before on other sites and know they show full posts are doing it. I don’t know if there’s a glitch or something?
Please help!!!
Thanks.
your current theme ‘ilisa’ shold be showing full posts on the front/posts page:
the corresponding code from content.php:
<div class="entry-content">
<?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ): ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?></a>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php the_content( __( 'more →', 'ilisa' ) ); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link">' . __( 'Pages:', 'ilisa' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!-- END .entry-content -->
in your site, this section renders virtually empty:
<div class="entry-content">
</div><!-- END .entry-content -->
have you made any edits to that theme?
have you tried to temporarily deactivate all plugins to see if that changes anything?
Aha!! that has helped, thank you so much!
