I forget, please help

rdraiss · 11-21-2009, 11:51 PM

Fellow Warriors I desperately need your help . I am working on a wordpress site , I have all categories listed in a separate menu bar.All categories on the site will consist of only one post. When you click on a category you only see the beginning of the article , then you have to click read more to see the whole article. What I am needing to do is when clicking on category the whole post shows (so I don't have to click read more to see the complete post. I know this is possible because I remember doing it before (guess I am outsourcing to much these days), I just forget how I did it. The person I normally outsource to is on vacation, and I need to get this site up ASAP. I would like to finish this project on my own, so any advice is much appreciated. Thanks Again in Advance.

You can either do it in the coding on the mainindexpage.php to perma-fix all pages OR in each post add a "read more" bar which is found in your toolbox inside the area where you edit your post. Add this bar at THE END of your post and it should preview everything up to that bar!

Hope that works,

Safe Travels,

thanks, webflip. I tried the read more bar at the end, unfortunately it didn't work.
Anyone else with suggestions?? Any help is appreciated

I'm almost 100% positive it has to do with the archives template, so you might have to mess with some php to get this done. Which I am no good at, but good luck I guess

Hi

Go to your archive.php file and find the piece of code that says something like:

<?php the_content_limit(450, "[Read More...]"); ?><div style="clear:both;"></div>

(well that's what my template says!) it may say something like <?php the_excerpt() ?> instead.

you need to change this piece of code to:

<?php the_content() ?>

That's it!

Hopefully this should work for you, please let me know how you get on.
