Full post on front page

    I used Seasonal on another site and had the front page show the full post of the blog entries. On my new site, lisarabey.com, all I’m getting is excerpt on the front page and I cannot find a way to turn it off! I went to the individual posts and removed anything under “excerpts.” I looked at Settings->Reading and I don’t see an option there to turn excerpts on/off.

    What am I missing? I really want to turn full posts on the front page.

    Thanks,
    Lisa

    Hi Lisa,
    If I understand this correctly, you do not want to have a post summary with a “Continue Reading” link, but rather have the full post displayed?

    Yes please!

    I’m guessing on the other site you were using the blog style as “Full Style” because on this one, you are using the “Small” setting on the blog, it was coded to use excerpts only because of the layout. If you were to switch to the full style on the customizer Blog Options tab, then your full post content will show.

    The only other option is to switch to using a child theme, then copy the content-small.php file into the child theme then replace this code:

    the_excerpt();

    with:

    the_content( sprintf(
wp_kses( __( 'Continue reading %s', 'seasonal' ), array( 'span' => array( 'class' => array() ) ) ),
the_title( '<span class="screen-reader-text">"', '"</span>', false )
) );

    I swapped from “Small” to “Full” and it’s working. I knew there was an option I was missing but I couldn’t find it. Thanks again for all of your help. ??

    No worries…it’s been awhile since I went into the theme and could have sworn I had a setting to choose excerpt or the basic content style for summaries, but saw that nope, not in this one. I sometimes forget what features and settings I have in my older themes. Seasonal has definitely been a very popular theme though.

    Glad you have it working though ??
