 * Hi. All posts on main page, posts by category, etc.. are being displayed as excerpts
   by default. I want to display all posts in full length. I tried to replace code(
   [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/showing-full-post-instead-of-excerpt-on-homepage?replies=3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/showing-full-post-instead-of-excerpt-on-homepage?replies=3)),
   but it didn’t work. Nothing happened.
 * What should i do?
 * Thanks for help in advance.

 * Hi pprzemyslaw. If you’re using the Standard Blog Layout then you’d need to also
   modify content-standard.php. If you want the featured posts to display the content
   you need to modify content-featured.php.

 * I am using this theme for a site that will not need long posts.
 * But I have other sites that absolutely must have full length article posts.
 * Other themes have a simple “show full content” check box, or something similar.
 * But it is sounding like Hueman requires code editing to accomplish this.
 * Pretty big fail if so. At least for me, as I do not know how to edit code.

 * At the present time, yes, but it’s only one line.

 * Well, that’s one reason the forum exists, to help you make the most of your site!
   If you’d like to learn a little bit about how the theme works, I’d be glad to
   give you some instructions on creating a child theme and modifying the files.
   If you can access your WP files using cPanel or FTP, it’s pretty straight-forward.

 * Here’s a non-coding option. Add the following function to a child theme functions.
   php file:
 *     ```
       /* display full post instead of excerpt */
       function my_post_content($content = false) {
           global $post;
           $content = $post->post_content;
           return $content;
       }
       add_filter('the_excerpt', 'my_post_content');
       ```
