    I’m using the twenty ten theme and I installed the Posts in Page Plugin and it does what I want. But when I write bigger posts (more than 4 lines) automatically shows up a continue reading link that I didn’t put. And when I put a continue reading it doesn’t appear in the place that I set.

    I want to remove the continue reading link in order to show the full post on the page. And when I set a continue reading link I want that it appears in the place that I set.

    Does anyone know how to do this?

    Thanks

    Hi i2016per,

    Okay, so the default ‘output template’ for Posts in Page shows only the_excerpt(), which by default adds a continue reading link if your post is longer than the excerpt size.

    I want to remove the continue reading link in order to show the full post on the page. And when I set a continue reading link I want that it appears in the place that I set.

    Easy peasy. You need to customize your output template and change out the_excerpt() for the_content() – see the FAQ for basic info.

    For more detailed instructions, there are a bunch of threads in this forum that deal with this, but I think either of these should should suit you:

    Once you replace the_excerpt with the_content in your output template, you’ll see the full post and have control over ‘continue reading’ placement.

    Thanks for the answer.

    But there is any way to do this without access to the files in wp-content? Because I don’t have access to these files by my server.

    In order to change the format of the plugin’s output, you need to tweak the output template, period. Ideally, you’ll copy this file into your theme and edit it in the theme, which you could do using the built-in theme editor in WordPress (although this is “Cowboy Coding” and not always the best solution as you’re changing things on a live site.

    I have to wonder how you have a hosting account without access to your files. Perhaps you could download the plugin, copy the output template file and send it to your host and ask them to upload it to wp-content/themes/your-theme-name?
