Thank you so much, the blog in blog plugin is a great solution.

I forgot to link to the site.

I replaced the current theme with a re-uploaded “Fresh and Clean” theme with a child theme in place where I made edits.

One change I made which was to remove from the page.php <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1> – that is back in the template now. I would like to remove it though I don’t believe I can do so in the child theme and will need to remove it from the page.php correct? I do not want a redundant page title.

I am still experiencing issues with the background color not changing via settings (only manually through style.css) as well as the summary/full text display on the homepage for posts. When I select ‘full text’ display, I still only see the summary.

Thank you very much for your response. I am attempting to help a friend who was struggling with this site and I was hoping not to have to start from scratch. Nonetheless, thank you for the advice. I will re-install the theme and move forward with a child theme. Is this the most recent version of this theme? https://www.wpexplorer.com/fresh-clean-wordpress-theme-by-wpexplorer I’m afraid I’m not sure where to verify this.

I installed a second version of this theme from this link and used that as the template instead and still had the first two problems that the current iteration of the theme has. I’m going to try again and I’ll post my results.

Again, thank you for your help. I’m still learning javascript and php so it’s much appreciated.

SwansonPhotos, thanks for the quick reply.

I’m not sure which file is displaying the posts on the front page. I tried index.php, page.php, post-entry.php and functions.php, I didn’t see anywhere that was using ‘the_excerpt’ I only noticed ‘the_content’
