How do you stop the posts on the main page from truncating and not formatting?

The front page post is all mushed together and if you click in to read more, THEN it formats correctly.

Where do I fix this?

Post link.

Example:

If I write text like this and then make a line break in the text, I can.

It breaks and should look like this. It DOES once you click the perma link and the post opens in it's own page.

However, on the main page it would look like this:

sounds like template problem, so for the fix and solution won't be universal.

go to your wp-content/themes/whatveryourthemeis

then compare code on your single.php to the other files page.php and index.php and match, your main index is bunching everything it sounds like

are you using an excerpt call instead of content

Super Negro · 11-11-2008, 01:57 PM

find the_excerpt();
and replace with
the_content();

DWB · 11-12-2008, 02:17 AM

Thanks guys, I'm back on this today.

Fris, if I fail, and I may... I'll hit you up. Thanks!

DWB · 11-12-2008, 03:13 AM

So here it is... but as I play with it I can't get it to work. I'm messing something up.


<?php
the_content('...read the rest of this entry»');
?>



<?php
}else{
?>

<?php the_excerpt_main(140, '<img>', 'none', true, "[+]", true, 1, false);?>

<?php
}
?>

^^^ this is your solution!

what theme are you using? find the index.php file of the THEME and edit it:

FTP to your site, navigate to wp-content/themes/THE-NAME-OF-THE_THEME, download the index.php, make a back up copy, find the_excerpt() and replace with the_content()
or you can have arguments like the_content(__('(more...)'));

<?php
}else{
?>

the_content('...read the rest of this entry»');

<?php
}
?>

this should work if you haven't messed it up

When I do that, it totally removes the post.

Hmmmm. This theme has a lot of extra files on it. One of them is theme functions had has a small book written about the excerpt.
