    I have tried repeatedly to get my posts to show the full post and not show (continue) and everything has failed!  I have reduced the number of posts to show to 3 and increased the content to 500000 and I still cannot get the full post to show!  Any help would be appreciated. I’ve posted my home.php below and am using Genesis with Glitter and Lace child theme.

    <?php
    remove_action( ‘genesis_loop’, ‘genesis_do_loop’ );
    add_action( ‘genesis_loop’, ‘diy_grid_loop_helper’ );

    /** Add support for Genesis Grid Loop */
    function diy_grid_loop_helper() {

    genesis_grid_loop( array(
    ‘features’                => 1,
    ‘feature_image_size’    => ‘feature’,
    ‘feature_image_class’    => ‘post-image’,
    ‘feature_content_limit’    => 500000,
    ‘more’                    => __( ‘[continue]‘, ‘genesis’ ),
    ‘posts_per_page’        => 3,
    ) );

    }

    /** Remove the post meta function for front page only */
    remove_action( ‘genesis_after_post_content’, ‘genesis_post_meta’ );

    genesis();

    Have you tried removing this line completely:

    ‘feature_content_limit’ => 500000,

    Hi Susan!

    I tried removing the line completely, and then had the double picture showing again so have put the line back in. I guess I’d rather have the post excerpt rather than the double pictures.

    Thanks for your suggestion.

    @Cattails – sorry I wasn’t able to help. Glitter & Lace is one of the community themes, so I can’t test the code myself on my own site (otherwise I would). Let’s see if I can dig further for you.

    In the meantime, if you go to your downloads, and “How to”, I believe there will be a link to contact the developer of your theme – you might try seeing if she has a recommendation.

    Just had to add – I just looked at your avatar – is that a Merry Cox piece? I love her stuff (I’m a cross-stitcher…)

    Are your Content Archives set to display content, or excerpts? Have them display content, and then try it again with that line removed…

    Susan,

    My avatar is a Merry Cox piece – flowers in the fall – I really need to finish the bird and get it attached to the box! So many stitches and so little time. I follow your blog (I’m Stitching Cat)

    My Content Archives are set to display content and were when I removed the line of text.  I cannot log in to My StudioPress account so will have to contact the developer directly.

    Thanks so much for replying.

    I saw your email that said to delete the home.php (it was in my email and not here on the forum — guess it was spam).  Anyway now my blog is gone!

    To get your blog back – go to your hosting site, and upload a fresh copy of your home.php.

    Susan, I got the blog back (I knew it wasn’t gone but it took a bit for me to figure out what to do).  I’m just leaving things as they are!  This geekery gets me into too much trouble. Some day I’ll find a great class to take, or book to use.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for letting me know. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve crashed my site – it’s scary the first time. If you want to reach out to the developer, send me an e-mail (through my blog), and I’ll give you her e-mail address.
