Categories summary page not displaying correctly

  • I have a category list menu.

    When I click on a category I am presented with the summary of posts in that category.

    However, in cases where the post has an image included on it at the start of the page, it does not display.

    Instead no picture is shown and the following code is visible in the summary page:

    “[caption id="attachment_92" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="here is the test"][/caption] “

    The same thing happens with a plugin (the field is shown, but not the contents that field is supposed to display) – although I don’t expect an answer on this point as it is a third party tool, whereas the graphic is part of a core release.

    When I then click the title, to see the full post, the picture can be seen.

    I have the very latest edition of WordPress running.

    Here you can see the effect of the above description….

  • Your category template file is likely using the function the_excerpt(), if you change that to the function the_content() you will see your full posts being displayed.

    Using the_content function should take away the “caption” issues, otherwise the “caption” text being shown when an image is added first to a post may be a simple fix of just adding a “new line” (press the <Enter> key) before adding the image … although it may be theme specific. Have you contacted the theme author with this concern?

    You have been very helpful, thank you. I will send an email to the template’s author, but I have found that I can remove the problem by simply completing the excerpt field for the post, then the excerpt is shown on the category summary page. This means that I can then show a simple text summary of the post on this page.
