Hi,

I have 3 questions:

1. Is there a way I can display the full posts on my blog page instead of excerpts?

2. Can I disable the posts linking to their own pages?

2. If not … how can I add padding around the individual blog page content area? I’ve done it on the main page with this code, but that doesn’t effect the post pages.

body.page-template-template-blog-php #container{
padding-right: 10px;
padding-left:10px;
padding-top: 20px;
}

thanks!
Laura

Hi Laura,

I hope you’re well. Regarding your questions:

1. You can edit the file template-blog.php for that. Replace this line

< ?php nice_excerpt( 400 ); ?>

With this one:

< ?php the_content(); ?>

2. You can edit the file template-blog.php and replace this line:

" rel="nofollow">" rel="bookmark" title="< ?php printf( __( 'Permanent Link to %s', 'nicethemes' ), get_the_title() ); ?>">< ?php the_title(); ?>

with this one:

< ?php the_title(); ?>

Best,
Juan.

Hi Laura,

You need to edit your template with a text editor – please don’t use Dreamweaver on designer mode or something similar because it will convert the html characters.

Best,
Juan.

I just tried that twice, and i still get the same results http://www.manneydesign.com/newsitebuild/special-events/ . i used text editor. Previously i wasnt using dreamweaver, but i was editing it within wordpress. this time i deleted the old off the backend, edited the new in text edit and uploaded it. are you sure the code is right?

Hi Laura,

Thanks for writing back. Would you send me your FTP details. I’m sure the code is right, the problem is that is not inserted the right way, so it’s not processing the php – it’s taking it as html.

Juan.

Laura thanks for the information. As it is a public forum I’ve edited your comment with the information. I forgot to mention to send the info to support@nicethemes.com

I’ll go through your files and I’ll come back to you when updated.

Best,
Juan.

thank you so much! yes, i was wondering about the public factor 🙂

[Juanfra Aldasoro]

Hi Laura,

No worries 🙂 I’ve edited your template and everything should be working fine now. I’m really sorry about the inconvenience.

Best,
Juan.

You’re the best, Juan! thanks.

one last thing, how can i remove the duplicate image on the blog posts?

[Juanfra Aldasoro]

Hi Laura,

No worries. 🙂

The blog template use the featured image on each post. It seems that you also inserted that image on the content. You should remove it from the content.

Best,
Juan.
