    I can only seem to get the text summary on the front page. I have selected the full text option in settings -> reading but still it is only showing a few lines of each post. Can anyone help please?

    Many thanks.

    Hi, chofchof. I don’t know why WordPress doesn’t provide this feature out of the box. I wish they would. That setting you changed in Settings -> Reading is for whether to display the full text or a summary in the RSS feed, not on the blog. I’m trying to keep my themes as “pure” to WordPress core itself (so far), so haven’t added any non-standard theme settings.

    If you want to make the change yourself, you can do it in the file content.php. Search for the if-then logic around the_excerpt and the_content. You can change that if logic to display the full text there if you want. Unfortunately, if you update the theme when I release a new version you will have to redo your change.
