Kent Theme Excerpts

  • sheilabryanna · Member ·

    Hi. On the Kent theme there are excerpts instead of the full post. I can click on the title of a post and it takes me to full post, but I would also like to have the full post instead of the excerpt. How do I do that with CSS?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Full posts vs excerpts is determined by code we cannot access; it’s not a CSS issue. If you want full posts you may need a different theme.

    Workaround
    On any theme with an active excerpt box below the editor box you can use this workaround to have full posts on the front page. You compose your whole post first and before you publish it you switch to the HTML (Text) editor, copy all the code, paste it into the Excerpt box below the posts editor, and publish the post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/excerpts/#creating-excerpts

    If you do not see an excerpt box then go to screen options on the top right hand corner of your Admin page and include all the modules:
    Post – Likes and Shares, Format, Categories, Tags, Excerpt, Send Trackbacks, Discussion, Comments, Slug, Author, Revisions, Writing Helper

    IMPORTANT NOTE: On themes that do have an active excerpt function, the workaround above works very well for textual content. It doesn’t work with objects inserted via a shortcode (videos, polls, audio players etc.). If you use the workaround you will have to do use it on every post you create as there is no setting for this.
