 * Hi,
 * I want to change excerpt to content, how can I do that please help ? 🙁
    or is
   there any plugin for that ? Because on my home page of blog it shows the complete
   posts but on other categories pages only shows partially posts…. I want on categories
   pages also show complete posts…
 * Thank you !!!!!

 * depending on your theme, edit category.php (or archive.php if there is no category.
   php [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy))
   and look for `the_excerpt();`

 * :(((
 * I tryed but with no success :((
 * I tryed this : [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_content](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_content)
 * if you need to display all of the content:
 *     ```
       <?php
       global $more;    // Declare global $more (before the loop).
       $more = 1;       // Set (inside the loop) to display all content, including text below more.
       the_content();
       ?>
       ```
   
 * can you tell me please step by step what I need to replace or modify
    and from
   Hierarchy#Category_display I dont have category.php . I have archive.php and 
   index.php.
 * Thank you !!!

 * the_excerpt() or the_content() should be in the loop.
    so don’t change much just
   find `the_excerpt();` and change it to `the_content();` in the category.php file
 * that’s it!

 * can you provide more details on what you have tried?
 * and can you post the name of your theme?
 * also, please paste the full code of category.php into a [http://pastebin.com/](http://pastebin.com/)
   and post the link to it here?
    (see [http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code))

 * a simple change like that should not have these side effects;
 * can you paste the code of the template, where you made the changes, into a [http://pastebin.com/](http://pastebin.com/)
   and post the link to it here?

 * it should work if you replace line 32 of the pastebin:
 *     ```
       <?php the_excerpt() ?>
       ```
   
 * with:
 *     ```
       <?php the_content(); ?>
       ```
