Need simple wordpress help - Will pay!

For the past hour I have been trying to get a full post to show up on my main page instead of just the excerpt. No matter what I do, it wont show the full post. I am working with the studiopress streamline theme.

I also need posts to show up on certain pages instead of the category. I have created page A and page B but cannot figure out how to segregate posts to these pages. It seems posts can only be segregated by category and not by page?

If anyone is able to help me with this, I will give you $5. If you are very familiar with wp, this will be the easiest $5 you ever made.

    the default code for the index page is set to show the_excerpt or it's using some custom code to only show a set number of words... I don't remember which and my copy of the theme is on an external that is not within arms reach at the moment. you're trying to do something that the theme wasn't built to do.

    you're not going to be able to get posts to show up on pages, well, it can be done but it requires some coding magic. posts and pages are apples and oranges.

    Dush,

    although it's possible to change this, by
    changing the excerpt code in your template
    to a full post code, I recommend using
    Thesis instead of the theme you are using.

    It's much more flexible then the rest of themes
    and it's perfect for IMers.

    But if you still want to change it, search for the
    the_excerpt() code in your index.php template
    and replace it with the_content(). That should do the
    trick.

      You could use the Atahualpa theme - that allows you to specify whether you want full posts or extracts as part of the theme options.

      I'm not exactly sure I understand what you are trying to say about your posts - but I think this might (??) be what you are trying to do:

      Set up a "page" and have that as your fixed, front page.
      Have 2 categories. Use the category menubar instead of (or as well as) the page menubar.
      If you don't specify a "posts page", you will only be able to access your posts via the category menu - so if you have 2 categories you have, in effect, 2 "posts pages".

      Does that make sense? And is it what you want to do???

    I'm looking for exactly this. I have pages on my site and I want to put a bit of bla bla at the top, then have the posts from a particular category show up on the page after my bla bla.

    I found a plug in to do this and I think it's called page to post plugin - or some such thing.

    It didnt work on my theme, but as I'm running WPMU not everything works with that anyway.

    good luck
