• Hi guys

    I’m having some very frustrating problems using wordpress and hope there might be someone here who can help.

    Firstly when I add a new page (not a post) and then click on the link for the page it shows a summary of the page and not the whole text, also when I click the ‘continue reading’ link it doesnt go anywhere?

    Here’s an example: http://www.acaiberrydirectuk.co.uk/dev/about

    What I want to be able to do is simply create a few static pages like ‘About’, ‘Terms’ etc and have the entire page open when the link is clicked…

    My guess is it must be in the php somewhere?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Samboll

    Thanks for the speedy reply…I guess that wont effect the posts layout?

    Many thanks

    no – just the Pages
    your theme’s single.php and index.php control posts

    I meant there’s no page.php file…

    u
    most themes have one – however some may use index.php to control pages
    try looking in there
    what theme do you use and I’ll look at it

    This is the theme I’ve used Samboll http://www.elegantwpthemes.com/?p=275

    I had a look in the index.php, its not in there either…here’s the code:

    <?php get_header(); ?>

    <div class=”content”>
    <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . “/slider.php”)?>
    <div class=”leftcont”>

    <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . “/recent.php”)?>

    </div>

    <?php get_sidebar();?>
    <div class=”clear”></div>

    </div>

    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Many thanks

    Neil

    it may take a bit
    that’s definitely a different set up

    All your help is very much appreciated Samboll!

    Is it possible to create a number of different the_excerpt() as I noticed this: <?php strip_tags(the_excerpt_main(90,'<a>','none',true,''),"<a><strong><br /><p><b><em>"); ?>... in the recent.php file. The reson I’m asking is because I’d like to have a shorter version of the_excerpt() in the mauve box above the ads in the right sidebar?

    Hi,
    yea I saw that line – I’m not sure how it all works, though. It seems that the excerpt is pulled for everything – posts, pages, archives, etc. with an image. Not sure how you would make it ignore the pages.
    I’ll play with it on my localhost.

    Many thanks
