category posts – show in full

I do’t know much about the template you are using. But what you are saying is basically you want to show full posts in category page rather than having teasers.

If I understand correctly you have to create a php file named categopry.php in your theme’s root directory. In this page retrieve all posts under selected category and loop through them to display information the way you want.

In category.php:

$cat_name = single_cat_title('', false); //gets you current term name
$this_cat = get_category_object($cat_name); // see below for f(n) body
$cat_id = $this_cat->term_id;
$posts = get_posts_by_category_id($cat_id, 'trips', 24); // see below for f(n) body

<?php foreach($posts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
  <!-- Extract your data for each post -->
  <div>
    <p><?php echo the_title(); ?> </p>
    <p><?php echo the_content(); ?> </p>
    <p><?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail(); ?> </p>
  </div>
<?php endforeach ?>

In your functions.php write the following functions:

function get_category_object($cat_name){
  $term = get_term_by('name', $cat_name, 'category');
  return $term;
}

and

function get_posts_by_category_id($cat_id, $post_type, $records_per_page){
  $currentPage = get_query_var('paged');
  $args = array(
     'category' => $cat_id,
     'post_type' => $post_type,
     'paged' => $currentPage,
     'posts_per_page' => $records_per_page
  );
  $posts = get_posts($args);
  return $posts;
}

Let me know if this helps.
