  Hi,

  I have the blog amusicalhodograph.wordpress.com and when you click some of the Category links, for example the “Jazz” link, the resulting post is cut off in a weird way. It doesn’t have a link that says “Continue reading->” like some of the posts in other categories.

  So my question is what determines whether the “Continue reading->” link is shown in the excerpt? Is there a way to always show the full post or is that dependent on the theme I am using?

  Thanks for your help,
  Andrew

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  So my question is what determines whether the “Continue reading->” link is shown in the excerpt?

  In this theme, the continue reading link will only be displayed if the post content has been automatically truncated. If it is too long, then we will shorten it for you.

  In the example post in the jazz category, this post is so short that it does not get truncated and no link is shown. This makes sense when the post contains only text, but in your case – with the video following the text – I can see how this creates an inconsistency.

  Is there a way to always show the full post or is that dependent on the theme I am using?

  This is completely dependent on the theme. There is no option to toggle between excerpts and full post content.
