  • Hi,

    Thanks for reading this and helping, it means a lot! I am using the boulevard theme and would like to show the full post on the index page instead of just an excerpt. I tried fiddling around with the index.php , upping the word limit of the exceprt (or at least I think I did!) to 10000, and changing get_the_excerpt to the_post , but it dosen’t seem to have done anything! I would have at least though my index would be a little messed up! I cleared my cache and all too… hmmm.. Anyway, I have attached my index.php file here (the default one), and hopefully you can tell me what to change!

    [code moderated - please follow the forum guidelines for posting code]

    Thanks,
    Jack

    Oh, and here is the default index.php on pastebin. Apologies!

    Normally index.php displays your front page, unless you have a static front page.

    Try it with this index.php: https://pastebin.com/E5vhpJf3

    Hi,

    That didn’t seem to work, I think because as I said above, when I get rid of all the php script on my index.php page, it still comes up perfectly! Any help anyone could give would be much appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Because this is a paid for theme it’s difficult to offer much in the way of assistance. Try and edit full-width.php (just guessing here)

    Huzzah! Turns out my WP editor wasn’t working properly! I manually edited the index.php through filezilla and it worked with your pastebin! One extra question, as always, the posts are in columns. Eg:

    Post One | Post Two
    Post One | Post Two
    Post One | Post Two
    Post One | Post Two
    Post One | Post Two
    ——————-
    Post Three | Post Four

    .. and so on. Is there a way I can get the post to assume the full width of the available area?

    Eg.

    Post One………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

    Post Two ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

    .. and so on?

    Thanks!

    This can probably be done be editing your theme’s stylesheet (style.css?). Can you provide a link to your website?

    Hi,

    Stylesheet and link here: https://pastebin.com/hJ8HTsbB

    We need a link to the website to know what to change in the stylesheet.

    It’s at the very top of the pastebin (:

    Try it with this stylesheet: https://pastebin.com/4hUemAWq
    and test this in different browsers.
