    Hi..

    I’ve read where you change the_excerpt into the_content to change blog posts to show the entire post instead of just an excerpt..

    here’s what my code in index.php says

    <div class="post-content">
  		          <?php $post_excerpt = of_get_option('post_excerpt'); ?>
  		      		<?php if ($post_excerpt=='true' || $post_excerpt=='') { ?>
  		            <div class="excerpt"><?php $excerpt = get_the_excerpt(); echo my_string_limit_words($excerpt,45);?>

    which excerpt do i change?

    thanks!

    carrie

    your posted section is only part of a possibly more relevant code;

    can you poast the full code of that template?

    in the most simple case, try and replace this section:

    <?php $post_excerpt = of_get_option('post_excerpt'); ?>
                                <?php if ($post_excerpt=='true' || $post_excerpt=='') { ?>
                            <div class="excerpt"><?php $excerpt = get_the_excerpt(); echo my_string_limit_words($excerpt,45);?></div>
                          <?php } ?>

    with:

    <div class="excerpt"><?php the_content(); ?></div>

    OR alternatively (experimental as I don’t know exactly what the theme option does):

    there seems to be a theme option to select to show the excerpt or nothing; if you want to keep this and change it to excerpt or content, then change the section to:

    <?php $post_excerpt = of_get_option('post_excerpt'); ?>
                                <?php if ($post_excerpt=='true' || $post_excerpt=='') { ?>
                            <div class="excerpt"><?php $excerpt = get_the_excerpt(); echo my_string_limit_words($excerpt,45);?></div>
                          <?php }
else { ?>
<div class="excerpt"><?php the_content(); ?></div>
<?php } ?>
