Sandbox Archive Pages

  I use the theme Sandbox, One-Column Minimalist 1.0 by Scott Allan Wallick Minimalist style with sidebars floating left and right below main content. I have paid for to customize CSS, in which I have done so.

  My question concerns the Archive pages. When any category is clicked on to view pages archived, the text of the post is shown and not the photos that go with each post. Our blog is a photoblog, and so each post has photos. It is extra work to click on a category, view the posts only, and one has to click the title to see entire post with photo.

  Is there a code I can enter or a code I can change on the CSS so entire posts with photos will show?

  Thank you,

  Anna

  @ the OP: I believe that functionality is hard-coded into the theme and can’t be changed via the CSS upgrade. You might want to look for a theme that displays archives and categories and so on the way you want, then customize that.

  Ok. Dang it. I like the theme I’m using. Thanks, raincoaster.

  Actually, there is a workaround for this issue: After composing a post switch to the HTML-view of the editor and copy the source code of the post. Then scroll down to the ‘Excerpt’-box and paste the code into it. Publish it as usually.

  Here is an example archive page on my blog where i updated a post this way: http://marschflugkoerper.wordpress.com/?s=hausordnung

  Downside: I see you have almost 400 photo posts, that will be quite some work to update them all. But at least future posts will show up with full content.
