 * Hey guys. I’m using a heavily modified template for my band’s website and I want
   to remove the feature that shortens my posts on the main page. (You have to click
   the post title to get access to the full post). The reason is, when I add links
   or images to my posts, they don’t show up on the preview, only when you click
   the title can you see them. I’d like to get rid of this somehow.
 * (And I already tried checking ‘full post’ in the reading options in the dashboard)
 * It’s obviously some code in the theme’s template somewhere that’s doing this.
 * This is the original template:
 * [http://www.upstartblogger.com/wpthemes/](http://www.upstartblogger.com/wpthemes/)
 * This is my site

 * Thanks!

 * Look in your main page template. You’ll see a tag that looks like this.
    `<? 
   php the_excerpt(); ?>` change it to `<? php the_content(); ?>` Resources: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt)

 * In your theme’s index.php, look for code similar to:
 * <?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>
 * Replace that with:
 * <?php the_content(); ?>

 * No not your page template your index template. Some themes call it the main page
   template others call it the index. Also when posting long code like that use 
   [http://wordpress.pastebin.ca](http://wordpress.pastebin.ca) and report the link
   back here. It makes the forums much easier to read.
