In reply to: [Expound] Where's the rest of my post?Eureka! I discovered that I needed to go into the “Settings>Permalinks>Permalink Settings” where it had been set for a “custom structure” with no designation for that structure. Whew! Now I have post summaries on my front page that are linked to pages which display the full post.

In reply to: [Expound] Where's the rest of my post?I’m a WordPress newb and this is happening not only in the Expound theme, but in other themes as well. So I and I’m thinking that I am missing something basic.

In reply to: [Expound] Where's the rest of my post?Vanessa, you’ve done A yeoman’s job to try to help me, and I thank you, but it’s not working. I read all the stuff you’re pointing me to but I still don’t see anything that relates to my issues.
I want my posts to appear on my FrontPage.
And for simplicity, I’m thinking I want the front page to be at the URL:
“http://localhost:8888/wordpress_XXXXsite/” not the extended url
“http://localhost:8888/wordpress_XXXXsite/some-name”So the problem I’m wrestling with now is that my posts appear as summaries even though I have them set to appear as full text in the “Readings Settings”
and
I can’t modify the URL of my post’s heading link to point any other page that I might create to host full text of the post.

In reply to: [Live Wire] Global Layout not WorkingNever mind. I threw a nav menu widget up in the primary position and the layout kicked in.

In reply to: [Expound] Where's the rest of my post?Do I have to manually make a page for each post? And if so, how do I get the post summaries to link to that page?

In reply to: [Expound] Where's the rest of my post?@vanessajw thanks for your help.
Okay, So my posts are appearing on my homepage as summaries. When I edit posts I can see that “slugs” have been generated. So where is the page that the slug is pointing to? The headlines of the posts on the front page only link back to the front page. So how do I end up with pages for my posts, each post? And how do I get the summaries to link to the post page?

In reply to: [Expound] Where's the rest of my post?@vanessajw thanks for your help. I still have problems though. Expound seems to generate a “Front” page automatically which doesn’t show up on the dashboard under”Pages” and this is where my posts display as summaries only. These summaries then link right back to the same “Front” page. I tried adjusting the “reading” settings which results in multiple Pages with summaries but still no complete blog posts.

In reply to: [Expound] Where's the rest of my post?I switched over to the theme Twenty Fourteen. Now all the problems I listed above are gone. It’s just really ugly out-of-the-box 🙁

In reply to: [Expound] Where's the rest of my post?Okay, I threw out all my pages and menus, but a homepage still displays at the url “http://localhost:8888/wordpress_FUPsite/”. So why doesn’t this “homepage” show up in the dashboard at “>Pages>All Pges”?

In reply to: [Expound] Where's the rest of my post?I added an image to the post. No luck. Still have just the summary on the front page with the button just links to the summary on the same page.

In reply to: [Expound] Where's the rest of my post?None of that helps me. Still the same problem:
I’ve got two pages, The homepage and one other. I make a blog post and it shows up on the homepage, but only the first few lines followed by a button marked “continue reading”. The problem is that the button directs right back to the same page, The homepage. Where’s the rest of the post?
BTW- Under “Pages>All Pages” I have just one page named “about” with this url “http://localhost:8888/wordpress_FUPsite/about/”
My home page has this url “http://localhost:8888/wordpress_FUPsite/”

In reply to: First day with WP: Where did my post go!?Now I’m back to the expound theme. I like the look better. I’ve posted over in the specific forum for that theme. We’ll see.

In reply to: First day with WP: Where did my post go!?I think it’s a problem with the theme. I’ve been using the free theme called Expound. I just switched to Twenty Fourteen and things are working better. I’m working on this local server so it’s not accessible to the larger world ;-).

In reply to: First day with WP: Where did my post go!?Okay I’ve got my posts appearing on the Home page as I hoped. But now that shows a summary of the post and a button that says “continue reading” which is really just a link right back to the homepage. So where can I read the rest of the post?
