Showing full posts on category page

  • I would like to be able to show full texts of blog posts on the category pages, rather than just the title of the post. My default posts page, which is called News, shows full posts, but on other category pages, of which there are three, only the titles without even excerpts are shown. So, for some reason the other pages are behaving differently from the default posts page.
    I’ve tried several plugins which don’t do the job, so I guess I should change the the_excerpt() setting to the_content(). Only I haven’t a clue where to look – the theme doesn’t have any category or archive.php’s and the index.php has only this:

    */
	get_header();
	get_template_part('library/template_posts');
	get_footer();
?>

    I’m pretty new to this, and all and any help would be greatly appreciated.
    The theme I’m using is Station by Page Lines, and the site is here.

  • Try looking in library/template_posts.php

    Thanks, Esmi, but I don’t think that’s it. However _posts.php looks like it might be the correct place to look. It’s just that I’m so new to php that I don’t really know what to change there and so far haven’t been able to figure it out, only to change the appearance of the post titles or lose them altogether by fiddling with it a bit.
    I don’t know if it’s ok to post here code this long, hope it is, this is what the _posts.php looks like:

    Sorry, I did select the code in the previous text, but for some reason it didn’t work, but turned sections of it into links instead… (?)

    Change this line <?php if(pl_show_excerpt($post->ID)):?> with <?php if(pl_show_excerpt($post->ID) && !is_category()):?>

    Thanks chinmoy29, tried that but it’s still showing only the titles.
