Posts Page = No Media Files Showing

A standard post will display the excerpt. By default, WordPress strips all formatting from the excerpt. Other post formats display the full content in order to work specifically with how that post format is meant to work.

The only workaround for you, is to set the post to a standard post, and then use the Excerpt box to create a custom excerpt. That box accepts formatting. If you don’t see the box below your text editor, click on Screen Options in the top right and check “Excerpt”.

I’m sorry for my noobness here but, what I need is for the post to show in full on the frontpage and in the post page.

From what I can see in your theme, if I create a “standard” post and add images to it or links within the classic editor, they will only display on the frontpage, but not in the post page.

However, If I add the images or links via html to the excerpt box, then those media files will display within the post, but not on the frontpage. When this option is used the text written within the classic editor box is not displayed in the post page, it displays on the frontpage only.

This seems backwards to me. I believe that whatever I write within the classic editor box (text/media files) should appear within the post page. The text/media written within the excerpt page should display only on the frontpage as an…excerpt.

Let me know if my thinking is off. It’s been a long day at work today!

I basically need the “standard” post type to do the same thing the “image” post type does. Show the full post on the frontpage and on the post page.

Thanks again for even taking the time to read my comment.

The theme is built to display the excerpt on all pages except the single post page. That means you can’t display the full post on the front page.

The only workaround for this would be to edit content.php and change this section:

<?php
if ( is_singular() )
    the_content( __( 'Read more', 'arcade') );
else
	the_excerpt();
?>
