 * How do I get the full post to show instead of an excerpt on the main blog feed
   page (here called News)? Reading Settings have been set appropriately: For each
   post in a feed, include Full Post
 * But it still only shows an excerpt. Moreover, it ignores any “read more” link
   if added and it turns off all active links in the post. It’s hard for a user 
   to know what to do.
 * Here’s the feed-
    [http://gallerybernice.com/news/](http://gallerybernice.com/news/)
 * Here’s the post-
    [http://gallerybernice.com/new-website/](http://gallerybernice.com/new-website/)
 * (Not sure why the previous post on this question got closed with no answers or
   solutions?)
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fposts-excerpt-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello? Theme author?
 * Luckily the folks over at Reddit were more helpful. If anyone else is looking
   to try to do this you need to edit the template-tags.php file (which lives in
   the Includes folder).
 * Change where it says “<?php the_excerpt(); ?>” to “<?php the_content(); ?>”.
