    I currently have the home page set to show latest post however it will only show the beginning text instead of the text and image. Is it possible to change this so it will display the complete post.

    Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    Hi Nick

    The template is designed to show the post excerpt and featured image (if there is one). It is not possible to change it to show the whole post unless you edit the template.

    Are you familiar with editing WordPress templates? They are PHP, HTML and CSS based files.

    Hi Mike,

    Yes I am little familiar however using the featured image will work fine for me, as I basically wanted the image to show and it was only showing the text previously. Thank you and everyone for the assistance I appreciate it.

    Regards,

    I should have marked this post as resolved. Doing that now. Let me know if you have more questions.
