showing the excerpt and content at the same time

Hi,

If you have two loops then then you can set the desired settings…You can change the except and contents settings from index.php file of your theme and set to your desired one settings..

Thanks,

Shane G.

for future reference, this was my problem:

i set used the_excerpt in the left column, and even though i listed the_content in the right, it only displayed the excerpt on the right side, too.

this is what i used to limit the number of characters for the post on the left: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/content-and-excerpt-word-limit/
