  Hi,
  I am using the Forever theme and my blog is showing excerpts instead of full posts. The blog is at http://www.jadeandfern.com. I do not have the “excerpts” feature activated, and in my Reading Settings, I have clicked “show full text”. It is showing the full post for SOME posts, and summaries for others. Please help!
  Thank you,
  Marlene

  P.S. I have cleared my cache and cookies several times so I don’t believe that’s the issue.

  Hi there, according to the Forever theme documentation:

  On the home page, posts with Featured Images assigned will display with the excerpt, whereas posts without Featured Images will display the full content.

  So, for example, this post doesn’t have a featured image, so it’s displaying in full. This post does have a featured image, so it’s displaying as an excerpt on your blog homepage.

  Just let me know if you need further help!

  Thank you so much! Clearly I should have read the theme description more thoroughly. I’ve removed all the featured images and now everything is displaying the way I intended. :)
