I can’t duplicate it because the all the browsers I’m using show it correctly. It’s poss. the ver. of IE you are using has a conflict.

If you all the changes to the code I ref. above it might solve this problem anyway as it will move the headers down.

I don’t know anything about the function or syntax for LimitText().
I tried to look it up but found nothing. Though I kept the function in and it’s working so I don’t think that’s it.

$rcsspthec=LimitText(trim($rcsspthec),10,$featuredcat5excerptlength,"")

LimitText(x,y,$z,)
what is
x
y
z
But I still think there is something with get_the_excerpt

I did a work around but I’d like to know why: get_the_excerpt() is generating a string that won’t go over 300 char.

As you can see I removed the if stmnt and just using: get_the_content.

It’s now allowing me to set the char length over 300. In fact I have it at 600.

Ok, I can’t duplicate that. I did look at the files to have the full tect on the homepage. I see no setting to adjust. I think the only way to do it is to alter the wp-loop.php file

find: `<?php the_excerpt_reloaded(100, ‘<h3>,<h4>,<a>,<img>,<p>,<ul>,<ol>,<li>’, ‘content’, TRUE, ‘Continue Reading’, FALSE, 2); ?>
<?php } ?>`

and change to a large number”

<?php the_excerpt_reloaded(580, '<h3>,<h4>,<a>,<img>,<p>,<ul>,<ol>,<li>', 'content', TRUE, 'Continue Reading', FALSE, 2); ?>
                        <?php } ?>

Keep a note of what you did. It worked for me. All You are doing here is adding char length. So some long posts might still have the “more” unless you set it very high.

I just loaded IE ver8 and I don’t see a problem. Could you take a screenshot?

I also installed the vesper theme to see if I could quickly tell you the settings. But I don’t think this theme comes with any admin options other than menu.

Well it’s probably a setting in your theme options to have excerpts on the home page….. or someone is adding a “more” tag when they write the post.

I’m not sure what you want. Do you want the full text to show on the homepage? I don’t know how you set the “More” tag. It seems this is the wording used for your theme. You need some “more” or continue reading” text to let people know there is more to the story.

This

#header span.description {
    color: #7E4C10;
    font-size: 20px;
    font-style: italic;
    margin-left: 5px;
    padding-top: 6px;
    position: absolute;
}

The only thing I’ll add is you might want to make it 20px:

.post-entry img {
       float: left;
       margin: .4em 0 0 1em;
       padding: 0 20px 10px 0;
       border: 0px;
}

Yep it’s fixed. Refresh your page holding down the shift key. You might have a cache issue.

I really need to have a char length in this div set at around 500.

It’s not the border, but padding in
.post-entry img {

I think you want to remove it.

Or I f you want padding you probably want to remove the border

If their site has a theme look at the theme options in the admin control panel
