Please provide a URL to a page where you are only getting an excerpt and that may help us help you….

I think its in these lines:

div class="entry clearfloat">
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>

um, change THAT part *** the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry »’); *** to say the_excerpt instead?

You are either using the <!–more–> function IN the actual content of the post (which hides everything after it until you click the link to read it) OR the file being used to display this content isn’t this one… OR your single.php file has the same code (it shouldn’t).

A URL so we can make sense of where this is happening would definitely help.

You will find that in index.php, page.php, category.php, archive.php and any CUSTOM page or category php files (in your theme folder)…

Those are the only places the content is called unless you have some custom theme that uses multiple loops. Still, using something like Dreamweaver (a recent version and ONLY from code view) or the like, you should be able to do a search for “the_excerpt” (you won’t use the quote marks) in the theme folder and get all references to calling the_excerpt(); function.

You WILL NOT be able to adjust this from the admin edit pages for a post or page. If you are using WordPress itself to edit, you have to go to (in recent versions, anyway) Appearance, then to Editor and select the file from the Theme files list on the right (v2.7+)
————-added just now:

if you are clicking a post title and not getting the full content, you probably need the single.php file. Does your theme have one? If not, look in either the default or classic theme folders for one and see how this differs from the base index or page or category files.

Hope that helps!

I’m having issues with lists of pages and posts in the 2.7.1 admin interface… the table is too wide, cutting off the content on the right. No adjustments made to it by me, so not sure what is causing this because I have other 2.7x sites that don’t have the issue.

Anyone seeing that?

Thanks goodness for Scott Reilly – he makes some of the most useful WordPress plugins out there! His Get Custom Fields plugin rocks!

Thanks, SCOTT!

And thanks for this solution to a major oversight in the 2.7x upgrade…

Well here I sit with my client’s WP @ godaddy site BROKEN. I backed stuff up and used that auto-upgrade to 2.7.1 in the Blogs/Wordpress/My Apps area and for the second time today, i am on hold with GD. And YES, I disabled all plugins before upgrading.

At first it said “pending patch”
then, it only upgraded (from 2.3.3) to 2.5.3
then, it went to 2.6.x(something)

At that point, I removed those files, downloaded and tried to manually install. Modified the config to use the correct info and add the auth keys… then uploaded all the custom theme files and the .htacess file

But now… I go to login and even though the username and pw are correct (no error message for that) it just keeps saying “Log in Again”

WTF? BTw, it was giving that error in the 2.5x and 2.6x installs, too… which prompted me to do the manual install.
