Show Full post instead of Excerpt

  • I would like my posts page to show full post instead of excerpt. My research pointed me to change ‘the_excerpt()’ in the index.php file to ‘the_post()’ but there is no such entry in index.php. I am using a child theme. Is there a menu selection that toggles whether the posts page show full post or excerpt; if not, where can I change this in the child theme folder?
    Thanks for the great theme. Sorry if this is already asked and answered, I could not find a way to search the support forum by topic.

    Hi appliedarts

    Dashboard / Appearance / Customize

    Excerpt/

    Home Listed Entry Contents set ‘Show Excerpt’

    Wait a few seconds, you will see a sub meta box.

    Allow Oembed in Excerpt,

    Add More LInk After Excerpt,

    Excerpt Type,

    Excerpt Length,

    Please set according to taste.

    More info.

    In particular post, how to display the full text instead of the excerpt

    You can use raindrops notation

    In doing an excerpt display, it can be displayed in the exceptionally full text and perform the following description in the body of the specific post

    <!--[raindrops skip-excerpt]-->

    Thank you.

    Thank you nobita – I figured there was a menu selection for it, it just was not obvious that ‘show excerpt’ would bring up the option to ‘show full post’ LOL!
    Your theme is incredible thanks so much for your contributions and for your amazing support to the community that uses your theme!

    Can you clarify how i do this?

    … You can use raindrops notation

    <!–[raindrops skip-excerpt]–>….

    I tried putting this <!–[raindrops skip-excerpt]–> into post at beginnig and end; and in the ‘custom css for this entry’ box and all had no effect

    I’m sorry stumped

    It was my lack of explanation

    [raindrops skip-excerpt] works when the ‘HTML in Excerpt’ has been set in the configuration of Excerpt Type.

    If you select WordPress Excerpt, it does not work

    Thank you.
