  Hi, I need some help with my website. I am using a custom theme but the maker doesn’t seem to be able to help solve this issue. Unsure why but I have had this solved easily with other themes just not the one I am now using.

  I am wanting to show the full post on the homepage and not just an excerpt with a read more on it.

  There is no excerpt in the index.php file that I have changed before on other themes. And I haven’t been able to find that anywhere in any file.

  Any help would be grateful, even if it is a plugin to solve it … Thanks

  Hi there!

  It seems you are using the open source version of WordPress, WordPress.org, to host your website. There are differences between WordPress.org and what we use here at WordPress.com.

  As the theme creator is not able to help you on this issue, you can post your questions on the support forum for self-hosted sites on WordPress.org:
  https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  I would suggest installing a plugin like Show Current Template on your website. It’ll help you find the template file used on the page which you need to edit to show full post.

  Hope your issue gets resolved soon.

  Thank you for your reply and I am so sorry, I didn’t realize the difference. I will head over there now.

  Lots of people get confused between the two WordPress versions.
  No need to apologise. I am happy to help :)
