Can't get my post links to appear on the home page

  • Hello,

    I have searched all morning online for an answer to my question, so I apologise in advance if this has already been answered.

    I have a self hosted wordpress blog that I just recently started. I noticed that when I would put outbound links to other sites in my post, they would only appear after the jump to the full article/comments page for that post.

    I would like the option to have the clickable link on the main page without the need for my readers to click into the full article to see them. Is there an easy way to do this?

    If it is helpful, I’m currently using the latest version of WordPress and the free version of the Pagelines Platform theme.

    Thanks!!

    I agree. I really appreciate all the help and attention you have given me.

    My theme is called Platform by pagelines. I’m using the free version which is a top download on www.ads-software.com. You can download it here.

    OK, I’ve found the section…. here’s the thing…

    It really looks like you should have an admin option panel of some sort which allows you to choose between full post (content) and summary (exceprt) display for your post index page

    Do you find that setting anywhere? Like in a submenu of your appearance panel?

    The theme seems to be coded for such
    If you can swich to full view, you will get your links, etc

    You are correct. I have the following options in the admin panel:

    Post Excerpt or Summary Handling
    Where should the theme use post excerpts when showing full column posts?

    Posts/Blog Page
    Single Post Pages
    Search Results
    Category Lists
    Post Archives

    Full Post Content
    In addition to single post pages and page templates, where should the theme place the full content of posts?

    Posts/Blog Page
    Search Results
    Category Lists
    Post Archives

    Which options sould I select/deselect to get the layout I’m looking for?

    Wait, I think I got it. Now it’s dsiplaying the full content of my post complete with links! Great! Thank you so much!!

    Last question… If I ever choose to do so, is there a way for me to still display an excerpt, but still have the option to display links if they appear near the beginning of the post? I assume this could be done by inserting a page break in my post, but Im still new at this.

    I Would think that if you manually insert the page break (the more button) then yes, it will show whatever you have before that point, with links intact
