    Hi,

    I have set up my WordPress – https://dev.cushing.org/jim

    All seem well until I copy/paste from a long document. Every time I publish the page, it only shows the first few sentences (35 words).

    I have have pasted from Notepad, as raw text, and pasted from Word.
    I have searched high and low within the forums.
    I cannot find any setting for word count.
    I have tried deleting cookie, cache, and broswer history.
    I have tried different browsers.
    I have re-installed WordPress 2.9.2
    I have turned off all my plug-in
    I have tried using the orgianl theme
    I have call my hosting company (Bluehost.com) and they do not have answers

    I can though manually type in the the Editor, and the copy will stick no matter how many words there are.

    Please help.

    Thanks in advance!!

    Most likely your index page has set the content to excerpt
    instead of to all the content. So when you make a post, only the first few lines will show.

    You need to change that line
    ‘
    <?php the_excerpt(‘[Read more →]’); ?>’
    to
    ‘
    <?php the_content(‘[Read more →]’); ?> ‘

    to this in your index.php file and maybe your page.php template as well.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try it out, but not sure it’s the solution.

    For clarification, I can copy/paste in the the text into the editor and it all appears. I can edit the text, but once I click “publish” the page refreshes and the most of text is gone. It’s not in the text editor anymore, so there no way for it to show up as a “content” or and “excerpt”

    Thanks

    ok, i misunderstood, I thought that the content wasn’t showing up on the site, not in the text editor. Sorry.

    Do not paste from Word. If are going to paste from notepad, make sure to paste it into the html editor and not into the visual editor.

    If, after that, you still have problems, try pasting in a little bit of content at a time and saving it and see if it will let your posts go long, or if it stops at a certain point. If it does stop, you can get an idea of where it is being cut off at, or if there is a certain line or lines of text which is causing it to happen.
