 * Hey all,
 * I want to remove excerpts from categories. I want it just appear like a regular
   post. How do I do this in the Twenty ten theme.
 * You can see it at my website [http://www.theoxengroup.com/blog3/category/longterm-ratings](http://www.theoxengroup.com/blog3/category/longterm-ratings).
   These stories have large jpegs at the beginning and they show nothing. I want
   it to appear like it does on the homepage.
 * Any help would be great. I am very new to coding…basically no nothing. Definitely
   could use some help!

 * First, I would strongly suggest that you make a [Child Theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes).
   Otherwise, when an update is issued for Twenty Ten, your changes will be lost.
 * Once you have your Child Theme working, copy the loop.php file from Twenty Ten
   into your child’s folder and make the change.
 * Near the bottom of the file, find the section shown below:
 *     ```
       <?php /* How to display all other posts. */ ?>
   
       	<?php else : ?>
       		<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
       			<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'twentyten' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   
       			<div class="entry-meta">
       				<?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?>
       			</div><!-- .entry-meta -->
   
       	<?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?>
       			<div class="entry-summary">
       				<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
       			</div><!-- .entry-summary -->
       	<?php else : ?>
       ```
   
 * Then, change this line:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?>
       ```
   
 * to this:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( !is_category() && ( is_archive() || is_search() ) ) : // Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?>
       ```

 * [@avnish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/avnish/), your solution will always
   give all the content, not just for category queries, but also for archives and
   searches. That is not usually what you want.

 * Either of those should work. We can’t do anything more without seeing your code.
   Please put your code in a [pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/) and post
   a link to it here.

 * Yes – loop.php. See my reply above.
