Show a video before the readmore

    I’m building my first WP site, and have a bit of trouble getting a youtube video to show up on the blog page. I only get to see it after clicking the readmore.

    http://192.185.115.125/~ollekebolleke/

    The first post (Olleke’s video) should show the youtube on it, but it only does after clicking “continue reading”. Adding text or an extra readmore doesn’t help.

    How do I fix this problem?

    Hey josflachs !

    Nice website 🙂 and especially the picture of the train 😀 ( every country is beautiful in its own way )

    Try this Advanced excerpt

    Let me know if you get any problem 🙂

    Cheers

    I’m new to WP, though I’m very familiar with Joomla. I think it might be theme related: the theme I’m using is Dazzling. If I use another theme, I don’t have this problem. I’ll have a look at the plugin you recommend and let you know.

    Btw, the train ride is fun! Done it many times. But for me, it’s just a short hop on the skytrain to get there. 😉

    The problem is because your theme uses the_excerpt() instead of the_content() in the posts page 🙂 I 1st wrote how to go this way by changing the_excerpt with the_content but decided to give you the easier solution 1st 🙂

    And yep for the train am sure it is 😀

    Brilliant! It solved my problem. I’m using the easier solution, until I can work with WP code myself.
