Unfortunately not gwheeler, the issue seemed to go away of its own accord. It did come back again since, but has now resolved itself again. It is really annoying.

Sorry not to be able to help!

Great, thanks you finally cracked it!

Turns out ‘Excerpt’ is one of the other ‘Screen options’ that you can choose to display in the same way as ‘Custom Fields’.

For your own information, the <!–more–> tag wasn’t needed in the end, just needed to add in the excerpt!

Thanks a million for all the help, I know I wouldn’t have been able to solve this without your help! Was actually driving me mad for ages but I kept putting it off!

Ya sorry, I meant to say this is all the data that is associated with the image: http://i.imgur.com/rReT2Nh.jpg

So it doesn’t seem to show up for the image.

There isn’t a function called the_excerpt in the functions.php either (this is the full text of that file:

<?php

/* code to activate menus */

add_theme_support( 'menus' );
if ( function_exists( 'register_nav_menus' ) ) {
register_nav_menus(
array(
'Top Nav' => 'Top Navigation Menu',
'Main Nav' => 'Main Navigation Menu',
'About us' => 'About us Navigation Menu',
'What we do' => 'What we do Navigation Menu',
'Inspiration store' => 'Inspiration store Navigation Menu',
'Client area' => 'Client area Navigation Menu',
));}

/* code for thumbnails and custom thumbnail sizes */

if ( function_exists( 'add_image_size' ) ) add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
if ( function_exists( 'add_image_size' ) ) {
	add_image_size( 'thumb', 100, 100, true );
	add_image_size( 'staff', 60, 40, true );
}

?>

I found the php file in the Appearance editor, here is the code for the staff-bio:

<div id="staff-bio">

<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()) the_post_thumbnail('medium'); ?>

<h4><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>

</div>

Thanks a million for helping me so much!

Hi GenericBox,

Thanks for the quick reply!

I have taken a screen shot of all the fields I can access when editing a post, here for the new post I am trying to create: http://imgur.com/8tiuofQ.jpg

and here for the existing post: http://imgur.com/ujTtxlv.jpg

and here is a screen shot of the image used in the existing post: http://imgur.com/PC7L6d7.jpg

I don’t see any Custom Fields on the editing page, only what is in the screenshots.

Thanks again, hope this is what you were asking for!
