Oops sorry, this is what I get for replying to threads while tired. In your content.php find this code:

the_content( sprintf(
  __( 'Continue reading %s <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentythirteen' ),
  the_title( '<span class="screen-reader-text">', '</span>', false )
) );

wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-links"><span class="page-links-title">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentythirteen' ) . '</span>', 'after' => '</div>', 'link_before' => '<span>', 'link_after' => '</span>' ) );

And replace it with:

if( is_single() ) {
  the_content( sprintf(
    __( 'Continue reading %s <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentythirteen' ),
    the_title( '<span class="screen-reader-text">', '</span>', false )
  ) );

  wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-links"><span class="page-links-title">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentythirteen' ) . '</span>', 'after' => '</div>', 'link_before' => '<span>', 'link_after' => '</span>' ) );
} else {
  the_excerpt();
}

That should do it.

Make sure you’re still using the_content() in single.php, which is the file WP uses to display a specific post. It sounds like you’ve accidentally changed it to excerpt there as well as wherever you intended to change it.

The first thing I’d suggest is to try flushing your permalinks. In the admin panel go to Settings > Permalinks and hit save changes. Does that fix the issue?

Hi Paul

Your post is a little wide-ranging and covers lots of questions. First of all, the look of your homepage is entirely governed by the theme so if you’re working with a theme from wp.org and need help changing specific things, please ask. If you’re working with a theme from elsewhere the best people to help you make changes would be the theme developers.

I’m not personally familiar with using WP-United so can’t say how much of what you need would come built in with that, but a quick look at its support forum suggest that other people have recently had problems with it too. Whether the plugin is still under development or not I can’t say, but the WP-United website seems to be down too. It might be worth looking into whether there are alternative solutions. Sorry I don’t have better news on that!

Hi

We’ll need a bit more info to be able to help you. Do you have a link to the site we could take a look at?

How are you adding products, WooCommerce?

As a first step, have you tried deactivating your plugins? If this solves the issue, you can reactivate one at a time to find the culprit.

Try replacing the relevant bit of code (from the second line you posted, to the seventh) with this:

<?php if ($theme->get_option('themater_logo_source') == 'image') { ?>
"><img src="<?php $theme->option('logo'); ?>" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" />
<?php } ?>
<h1 class="site_title">"><?php $theme->option('site_title'); ?></h1>

It just removes the if/else and should display the h1 at all times. This code is untested so please make a backup of the file before making any changes.

You can move the WordPress installation by following this guide. You’ll be moving WP into your root directory, so just be sure to follow every step there.

Jut to clarify, the process of adding a featured image in the admin panel is working as expected but the featured images no longer show up on the actual site? Are all featured images affected or just the ones you’ve added since the problem began?

Step 1 would be to switch to a default theme (like Twenty Fifteen) and disable your plugins. If the missing images reappear, the problem is either with a specific plugin or with your theme and reactivating everything one by one will help to narrow it down further.

If that doesn’t work, a link to your site would be helpful.

How are you adding the links? A theme options panel, a plugin/widget of some kind, directly in the theme template files?

You’re correct, people build websites with WordPress and don’t use Bootstrap specifically. They do however always use a front-end theme of some kind, involving HTML and CSS and often JavaScript. That part is not controlled by WordPress, just integrated with the functions that WP provides for outputting content. I think that’s where the confusion lies.

Bootstrap is a framework for building the look of a thing with HTML, CSS and JS. It can be used to build just a flat website with no CMS attached, or it can be used to build a theme for a CMS such as WordPress.

So again, the question isn’t WP vs Bootstrap. It’s CMS vs no CMS and there are plenty of arguments from both sides of that on the internet already ??

Apologies for this, seems there was a problem with my domain while away on holiday. Repo files are updated, but until those refresh you can find all the info here: https://codebyshellbot.com/wordpress-plugins/easy-image-display/

This is a confusing question. WordPress and Bootstrap are two entirely different things that do entirely different things, there is no decision to make between the two.

Use WordPress if you want a nice, user-friendly, popular CMS to manage your content. Use Bootstrap if you want to get a quick start on developing what your site looks like. Use both if you want both of those things (and if you don’t want to use any existing WP themes, of course).

I usually use both, because they’re both awesome. But they’re entirely different things.

It sounds more like your question is whether to use a CMS or not, which does to an extent depend on the type of site but I’d say that even a basic brochure site benefits from being built on a CMS, since it adds flexibility for the future and allows the site owner to make basic changes without knowing HTML. Your mileage may vary.

It looks like the image size is the only problem, the text is actually there as expected but is covered up by the outsized image.

Now, your theme is a paid one so I can’t install it to look around, do you use the featured image field to add those homepage images or does it automatically pull the first image from each post without you doing anything special?

If the latter, the only difference I can see between the latest post and the others is that this one has the image as the first piece of content, whereas previous posts have included text before the first image. It’s vaguely possible that this is messing with however the theme detects the first image and that rearranging to have a paragraph of text before the image will fix it.

Given that this is a premium theme that we don’t have access to, I’m surprised the developers couldn’t help on their own forum. There’s only so much we can do from here without knowledge of the theme specifics, but I can try!

Off the top of my head there are a couple of quick things you can check to help figure out what’s going on.

1) If you add the basic “categories” widget to your sidebar, do the links there work as expected or do they also give 404s?
2) If those work, are the links pointing to the same place as your menu links?
3) If those don’t work, have you tried flushing your permalinks? (Settings > Permalinks, click save)

Those steps should give us a better idea of the problem.
