 * Hi, When I post on my blog it only shows an excerpt and not the full post
   How
   can I make the full post appear? I’m using the Kiosko theme.

 * Hello
 * When you edit a post in the block editor, you can insert a **Conent** block:
    1. Edit your post.
    2. Click the **+** and search for **Content**.
    3. Place it at the the query loop block or inside the editor where you want to 
       show.
    4. Update the post.
 * if you still face some issues then – 
   By default Kiosko’s loop is probably calling`
   the_excerpt()`. You’ll need to swap that out for `the_content()` in your theme
   files—ideally via a **child theme** so your changes aren’t lost on updates. A.
   Create a Child Theme (if you haven’t already)
 * In `wp-content/themes/` make a new folder, e.g. `kiosko-child/`.
 * In it, create a `style.css` `/* Theme Name: Kiosko Child Template: kiosko */`
 * Create an empty `functions.php` in the same folder.
 * Copy & Edit the Loop File
    1. In the parent theme folder (`kiosko/`), find the template part that outputs 
       the excerpt. Common filenames are:
    2.  - `content.php`
        - `template-parts/content.php`
        - `template-parts/content-archive.php`
        - or even `index.php` / `home.php`
    3. Copy that file into the same relative path in your child theme (e.g. `kiosko-
       child/template-parts/content.php`).
    4. Open the copied file and look for something like `<?php the_excerpt(); ?>` Replace
       it with `<?php the_content(); ?>`
    5. **Save** and reload your blog page—the full post content should now appear instead
       of just the excerpt.
 * Activate **Kiosko Child** under **Appearance → Themes**.

 * I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/kiosko/#new-post](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/kiosko/#new-post)
   so the theme’s developers and support community can help you with this.

 * Hi [Kushagra Goyal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kush123/) I don’t know
   much about the Block system as I’m using the Classic system for posts. I haven’t
   been able to find where this file is [<?php the_excerpt(); ?>] so I’m using the
   Advanced Exerpt plugin to add a ‘read more’ section. I don’t know how to make
   the link live so I’ve called it ‘read more click title’ which brings up the full
   post. This works okay.
 * [Hi Steven Stern](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/), I don’t have
   a reply from the Kiosko theme forum yet.
