Blog page will not show entire post, only exerpts

[Red]

Hi,

I just imported a blog and I’m trying to format the blog page, but I can’t save the settings.

I inserted the blog element into the page (I did that from both the template settings and the Swift page builder in case it made a difference, but it didn’t) and I have chosen the following settings: blog type = standard, show item excerpt = no, and content output = full content. I tried updating the page (several times), yet I still have a blog page that shows only excerpts.

Also, I have chosen “no sidebars,” but the sidebar is still there.

Thank you for your help.

Update: I managed to get rid of the sidebar and the masonry format by going to theme options> archive and categories> and changing the settings there, but there is still only an excerpt showing.

Another Update: The background image disappeared from the blog page for some reason. I removed the blog page builder element completely to see if that might be the problem, so now I have no content on my page — yet the blog is still there!

I’m out of ideas, so I will have to wait for you. I will put the login info in a private message.

I’m having the same issue. Blog page that shows four post excerpts. Very frustrating. I’ve deleted the page, closed WP, came back into it….nothing I seem to do works! I guess at least we are in the same boat but I sure would like to know how to fix this.

Can you please not set up the blog via wp-admin > Settings but rather via shortcode? Thank you!

Hi Melanie,

Thanks for your reply, but I’m not sure I understand what you mean.

I did insert the blog element via the page builder and also the blog page template; is there something different I should do?

As far as wp admin settings, I picked “standard” as the default post type (the only other choice is summary) so I’m not sure what to do differently there.

Thanks, Melanie!

Hi Melanie,

I monkeyed with the settings and now it is showing the full post. Thank you.

I think what did it was going to wp admin> reading> “posts page”> unselected “blog” from the dropdown.

Thanks!

Hi, yes that’s what I meant, sorry for not being clear enough.
Glad you found it tho!
