Show full post on homepage – no excerpt

Do not edit the theme itself. First create a child theme for your changes.

I too wish to display the entire posts on the home page, and not just the excerpt. Thanks for the link to “creating a child theme” Esmi!

However, Is anyone able to point me in the right direction as to what the code that needs to be inserted into the child theme would look like?

Cheers!

Hi mbsvendsen and kensavage,

Working on your child theme do the following change in the content.php file:

change:

<div class="entry-summary">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>

to:

<div class="entry-summary">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>

Not sure yet how to do a child theme but when I made that change kaniamea, I don’t see a difference on the home page.

Hi ??
The same problem for me, and don’t find any issue.
In the new wordpress themes, there are no longer “home.php” neither “post.php” etc
So, I think the “indexphp” does the job by default, but still displays the excerpts instead of full posts…
Maybe have to create a custom type?
Or modify one of the “wp-include’ files?
Thanks for ur help ??
