• Hey folks,

    I seem to have an issue where long posts are being cut off, it is like it is being cut off in the WYSIWYG editor.

    What could be causing this?

  • Hi,

    You may need to edit the index.php file of your theme and find this code:

    the_excerpt()

    Replace with:

    the_content()

    Once, you change the code, it will display full post.

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    Thanks for that Shane, I just checked it and it is already using the content function.

    The only thing that makes me wonder if it is the theme or not is that it is actually cutting it off when I save the post within the editor.

    Any other possible ideas?

    Thank!

    It appears that it is something to do with the input I am pasting from some Word documents, does the WordPress editor not have a system that can control these issues?

    If I use quotation marks such as ( ‘ ’, “ ” ) as opposed to apostrophe ( ’ ‘ ).

    Any ideas folks?

    Don’t paste content from Microsoft Word into WordPress as the pasted text will also contain Word’s own formatting. Sooner or later, this formatting will stop your pages from being displayed correctly (if at all) in Internet Explorer. If you cannot possibly manage without Word, paste your text into NotePad (or another text editor) first, then copy from NotePad into WordPress.

    Or use the inbuilt Paste from Word option in the Visual Editor. Or Windows LiveWriter.

    Ah that is it, thanks!

    Only thing is, the in-built copy and paste function for Word does not actually work, that is pretty annoying so maybe I need to find out what the LiveWriter is about.

    Thanks for your help!
