I’m finding it weird that links will not show up in my posts and that I cannot format the post – ie centering the image and text. If I click the image on the post (on the front end) I go to a second page where the link is clickable, but the main home page post doesn’t have the links accessible. IF I didn’t have an image there I would not be able to get to the links within the text at all.

Is this a glitch? What am I doing wrong. (I have vs 2.1 – has this been fixed in later versions?)
I have turned featured images off since with it on I cannot add an image to the body of the post and I’d prefer to do it that way.

Hi Glen,

Can you please post in your site url and the affected post link?

[Glen Pavelich]

sorry – this didn’t come to my email. Thanks for the reply the link is

The link from the title works, as does the link from the image, but the text ‘click to view the issue’ is also a link and it doesn’t show up.

See second post Hanley Hermes – October.

Hi @fireflywebs,
You have set excerpt(summary) mode in Appearance=> Theme Options=> Layout Options=> Content Layout. This will show excerpt instead of the content, and all HTML tags like links are removed from excerpt.

To achieve a larger image link effect, you can do following:
Option 1
1. Set Content Layout to Full Content Display/Full Content With Featured Image
2. Bear in mind this will show all the content in blog pages
3. Then control the content by adding more quicktag. To add a more quicktag in your post, put your cursor where you want to end the excerpted content of your post and click the more quicktag button. quicktags are the little buttons found above the editing window in your Administration > Post > Add New Post. They include bold, italic, links, and others, and the famous more.

It will insert a code at that point that looks like this:

and I told him that he should get moving or I'd be on him like a limpet.  He looked at me with shock on his face and said
<!--more-->

The rest of the post continues in the editing window, but when viewed on the non-single/non-permalink web page such as archives, categories, front page, and searches, the post is shown as an excerpt to the more point.

Option 2
* Reduce amount of text in excerpt
1. Go to Appearance=> Customzie=> Theme Options=> Excerpt / More Tag Setting
2. Change More Tag Text and Excerpt length(words) to desired value. Make sure your content has more words than Excerpt length or the Continue Reading options will not show up.

I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.

Regards,
Pratik

Yes, that’s what I needed to know.
Thanks
