If you go to Dashboard > iBlogPro > Pages And Posts check Post Excerpt Placement and see which option is selected. Also, is this checked ... Features On Blog/Posts Page?

Are the Developers back from holidays yet?

[catrina]

Yes, they are back. Are you using the latest version of WordPress (3.3.1)?

Received a ticket on the help desk that his issue still persists. I have asked him to make sure that: 1. Wordpress is up to date 2. iBlogPro4 is up to date 3. Plugins are up to date I have asked him to reply to this forum topic after the above have been confirmed. I also requested that he activate iBlogPro4 (he has 3 active now) and deactivate ALL plugins in order to help him troubleshoot.

One other thing when i use the drop down categories the "select a category" go's off the page, is there a fix for this?

[catrina]

The "Select A Category" dropdown menu is too wide because it stretches to the width of your longest category (in this case, the category "Flight on the London Eye and Elite Sunday Lunch Jazz Cruise For Two" and several others). You'll need to shorten the category names to ensure that your category dropdown menu doesn't stretch or to make it easier, disable the "Display as dropdown" option in the Categories widget in Appearance > Widgets so that your categories just appear as a list of links.

[infocity]

Is there no way to alter the theme to shorten the category bar, when i changed it back the categories go down the page too far, i am using data feeds so i can't edit them. Back to the original problem, I disabled all the plugging and the theme shows excerpts of a post, i have seen the same problem on another site

[catrina]

There isn't a way to add linebreaks to the code that generates the code for the dropdown. So far, the best solution is to keep them as a list of links. How are you using data feeds to generate the dropdown? As for the original problem, the developer will need to reply with a confirmation about the information simple_mama posted above.

Hi there, I bought this theme Iblogpro4 months ago and have never used it due to the posts being hidden, look here http://myblockeddrai...n.co.uk/london/ I have set all the settings to display a full post, why doesn't it work?

[Rob]

I don't know the reason, but we've not had other complaints of this nature. If you add something to the Excerpt field in the post, does it appear in the page you linked above? Is the setting "Show full content on all blog pages"? That would make the full content appear on the blog page. 'Show full content on single pages only' would only display the full content inside the post itself.

[infocity]

All the settings are set to show the full post and pages and excerpts are switched off

[catrina]

Try deactivating all active plugins to see if the problem persists.

@infocity Have you thought about upgrading to the new iBlogPro 5 ? Contact our helpdesk and in your email to them, add a link to this topic.

I paid for Iblog4 and have never been able to use it, would the latest one be the same, would I be wasting more money? Im running iblogpro3 no problems on 5 of my sites

[Danny]

Hi, iBlogPro 5 is a child theme of PageLines Framework and therefore, has a lot of options. One of these options is the ability to display full post content on: ??? Posts/Blog Page ??? Search Results ??? Category Lists ??? Post Archives Contact our helpdesk and they may be able to assist you - hello at pagelines dot com
