 * I know Kubrick uses `the _excerpt()` for archive views. I want to see the full
   post and images, so I’ve changed that to `the_content()` in archive.php. However,
   it makes no difference. I’ve also tried `the_content('','1','')` but that doesn’t
   work either. I’m using a fresh install of 1.5.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks

 * Are you quite sure you’re editing the archive.php for the active theme? Also,
   the line below that, the one with a link to the full post in single page glory,
   will still be there if you don’t comment it out, and may be leading you astray.

 * Erm, OK, I seem to have been lying! Seems to be working now. Maybe cached. I 
   don’t see the line below that you mention. only:
 * ` <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div class="post"> <h3 id="post-
   <?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="
   Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3> <small
   ><?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?></small>
 *  <div class="entry">
    <?php the_content('','1','') ?> </div>
 *  <p class="postmetadata">Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> <strong>|</strong
   > <?php edit_post_link('Edit','','<strong>|</strong>'); ?> <?php comments_popup_link('
   No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p>

 * Also, it doesn’t show the entire month or category archive. Just a few posts.
   How do I get it to show the entire archive?

 * Actually quite like the showing of just a few, but then when it gets to the end
   of the posts and you click on ‘previous entries’ you get a 404 error

 * Either you worked it out for yourself, or I’m looking at the wrong site, but 
   I get no 404 errors when clicking “previous” or “newer”.

 * Try here:
 * [http://www.shakykaiser.com/blog/archives/category/mlccc/page/2/](http://www.shakykaiser.com/blog/archives/category/mlccc/page/2/)
 * Then click on the previous link

 * Also, that page isn’t showing the image that is in that one post.

 * You shouldn’t have an active ‘previous entries’ link on that page at all. Check
   your source. This is all you should have:
 * `<div class="navigation">`
    `<div class="alignleft"><?php posts_nav_link('','','&
   laquo; Previous Entries') ?></div>` `<div class="alignright"><?php posts_nav_link('','
   Next Entries &raquo;','') ?></div>` `</div>`
 * You seem to have more links showing up than that.
 * Don’t know why the pic isn’t showing up, but if you can get to the bottom of 
   the other error, it may cure this as well.

 * That is all I have. Haven’t changed the default at all.
