    Hello Fellow Wp users

    I have just installed my first blog using the latest version from WP 2.0.6

    Im just having problems how the post and archive work
    I was on the understanding from reading this support forum that all the posts are only archived after a set time normally at the end of a month…

    So if I made a post it will remain readable till at least the end of the month, I have posted two posts on my blog, and they are directly put in the archive.

    When I click on one of the Categories that has a post in
    I get “Archive for the ‘XXX’ Category” and can only read
    about 6 lines..

    There are a few complete posts on the main page but when I
    want to goto another post I only get the Archive
    Have I done something wrong or have I misunderstood how a blog works

    Thanks for your help in advance

    You misunderstood…

    Every post is “archived” in the moment you publish it. However, this is a misleading statement. Your posts are stored only once in the database (DB) – and by clicking on different links, like a category name or a month name, you just call (query) a different display of your posts, a different view, if you wish.

    Also, different views are using different template files of the theme to display the query.
    See http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy

    Seemingly, your theme uses the_excerpt template tag in the archive.php file (which is the normal way to display archives) and the_content tag on the index file.

    That’s how it is supposed to work.
