Just to update, I tried that in every php file that had “read” in it (except archives because it was written different) and it didn’t work. I was still seeing the words”read the rest of” even though they were deleted from every php except archives – so i fugured maybe that’s where I need to concentrate. After the date info there were some lines that looked like this:

</div>
<div class=”post_details”>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<p>Read the rest of “><?php the_title(); ?></p>

all i did is change the word excerpt to content and it seems to solve the problem.
Hope this can help someone else!

I’m trying to solve this issue as well. I have the site set up so it shows a page first, and then you can click on a category. (each category is essentially it’s own blog) But when it shows the posts, it only shows it in basic text and no pics, then has “Read the rest of…” I want it to post the entire post the way it does if you then click “Read the rest of…” I’ve looked over the first 4 questions, and can’t figure it out. Here’s what the code looks like in my main index:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<!– index.php start –>
<div id=”content”>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<table style=”margin-bottom:20px; margin-right:30px;”><tr><td>
<div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<div class=”post_title_div”>
<span class=”post_title”>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></span>
<span class=”post_datetime”><?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> at <?php the_time(‘g:ia’); ?></span>
</div>
<div class=”post_body”>
<?php if (is_search()) {
the_excerpt();
} else {
the_content(__(‘

Read the rest of ‘) . “\”” . the_title(”, ”, false) . “\” »”);
} ?>
</div>
<div class=”post_details”>
Posted in <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?>
<?php if (function_exists(‘the_tags’)) { the_tags(‘<p>Tags: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘</p>’); } ?>
<?php comments_popup_link(‘No comment’, ‘1 Comment’, ‘% Comments’); ?> <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’, ‘
<span class=”edit_post”>’, ‘</span>’); ?>
</div>
<img src=”<?=bloginfo(‘template_directory’)?>/images/lr-fold.gif” style=”position:absolute;bottom:-1px;right:-1px;z-index:2″>
</div>
</td></tr></table>
<!–post–>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
<div class=”navigation”>
<div class=”alignleft”><?php next_posts_link(__(‘« Previous Entries’)) ?></div>
<div class=”alignright”><?php previous_posts_link(__(‘Next Entries »’)) ?></div>
</div>
<?php else : ?>
<div class=”post”>
<div class=”post_title_div_notfound”>
<span class=”post_title”><?php _e(‘Not Found’); ?></span>
</div>
<div class=”post_body”>
<p><?php _e(‘Sorry, but no posts matched your criteria.’); ?></p>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . “/searchform.php”); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

</div><!–content–>
<!– index.php end –>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

any help would be appreciated.
thanks!
