The orig thread was marked as read, so I had to start a new one (titled Other Thread Marked as Read….)

Apologies if I didn’t make this clear previously. On the BlogPost Page that shows excerpts of all posts…the index, if you will…all of those are created/saved in ALB editor and work fine, EXCEPT the very last post, titled “Existential Dilemma:…” which was created/saved with Default editor…this one does not show the full
Post when you click Read More. It goes to its own page (with no other posts) but only shows the excerpt with Read More at the bottom.

I created/saved Existential Dilemma in default editor as a test because I want to use the Default Editor since it automatically creates the excerpt and ALB does not.

To show this more clearly, I have done this:
1) In the 1st post (“How to Beat Fear of Intimacy”) that is in ALB, I deleted the manually created excerpt. You can see on the blog posts page (the index of posts) there is now no excerpt. When you click Read More, you’ll see the full article. EDIT: Now, after redacting it without the manual excerpt, this post shows a blank white page (I just saved 2 spaces in the manual excerpt box so visitors people can still see it).

2) on the very last post (“Existenial Dilemma”) that is in Default editor, there is no manually created excerpt either, but you’ll see the auto created excerpt is present on the blog post page (index of posts); however when you click Read More (again, the very last blog post on the index page) you’ll notice that it goes to a new page, but only the excerpt is there with Read More at the end (just no index of other posts isnon that page). https://gatehealing.com/existential-dilemma-the-universe-vs-mud-pies/

If I could attach a screen shot, I would. This happens after clearing all caches and history, and in Firefox and Chrome.

If y’all are seeing the entire Existebtial Dilemma post upon clicking Read more, then my iPhone and MacBook Pro and iMac have gremlins and are not showing the full post.

Please let me know if you are seeing the entire Existential Delimma post, which should be 6 paragraphs.

while that does put the social icons at the bottom of the screen that comes up upon clicking into that Existential Dilemma post (last post on list. . . created/saved in Default Editor), the problem persists that when you click Read More, it just takes you to a screen with the excerpt and Read More again . . . but there are just no other posts on the screen….just the excerpt from the Existential Dilemma post.

Is this something I can fix?

Victoria,
What I have done is add a post at the very bottom of my Blog Posts Page (“Existential Delimma….” that is created and saved in Default Editor. Currently, if you try to click into that post, it’s just a blank screen. I did just add the following code to my child theme functions.php to get social share icons at the bottom of each post:

add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘avia_add_social_share_bar’ );
function avia_add_social_share_bar( $content )
{
// Check if we’re inside the main loop in a single post page.
if ( is_single() && in_the_loop() && is_main_query() )
{
return $content . do_shortcode(“[av_social_share title='Share this entry' style='' buttons='' share_facebook='' share_twitter='' share_pinterest='' share_gplus='' share_reddit='' share_linkedin='' share_tumblr='' share_vk='' share_mail='' av-desktop-hide='' av-medium-hide='' av-small-hide='' av-mini-hide='']“);
}

return $content;

This was from a different thread. It works great on posts created/saved in ALB, but since those in Default editor show blank screen, I don’t know if it works in those or not. Feel free to delete that code from functions.php in child theme to see if that helps.

Hi Victoria, They are in private box now.

For now, although I am hoping to use default builder so excerpts are automatically created vs me manually creating 175 of them in ALB. I have tried to use default by copy/pasting into default from alb then resaving, but when I do that and click into the post itself, only the excerpt is shown. I have asked about this in another thread where the subject refers to another thread being marked as Read when I still had a question (the one I just mentioned) (I know now that my follow up I query may not be seen once thread is marked as Read).

Ah!! Perfect!! Thanks!
Jon

Hi Victoria,

Thanks, I’m getting them answered as we go along in other threads. Wish I knew a lot more about the technical parts of this stuff!. This one is ok for now, though I may come back or start a new question should the ideas suggested not work out.

Thanks!
Jon

I really appreciate the really fast responses.

Am I replacing the previous functions.php code with this new piece, or just adding the new piece after that last one?

EDIT: I have tried adding it and replacing it . . .now I get the full article on both, but neither shows the title when you click into the post itself. For now, I have added the “Header title and breadcrumbs” in Theme Options > Header. While I like breadcrumbs, they overlap the title on mobile for longer titled pages/posts.

I’ll start adding the 150 excerpts manually. Hopefully I can find a plugin that might be able to do that as I have over 150 posts to manually do that with. If you have suggestions, I’m open for sure. ***EDIT****: I just realized that if I leave the posts in Default view, the posts automatically have the excerpt shown. I’d leave them in default view if that didn’t cause the full post to not be visible upon clicking Read More. This seems like a nice option to develop, I just don’t know how complex it would be to allow excerpts to be automatically created in ALB and still have the full post be visible upon clicking into it.

Thanks again,
Jon

Thanks Ismael,

Do I need to only use the Default editor for posts? I had noticed the difference and tried saving both posts in default editor, then both in ALB with same result. I must have changed one of them back to default when I re-published these.

I’ll start re-publishing my posts for viewing, but let me know if I am better to stay in one editor or the other (or if I can use ALB, but just save from Default editor).

When you say to reset Settings > Reading to default, do you mean leave my front page as a Static Page (which is what it is) with that page selected in the dropdown, then have the posts page with nothing selected (which means the drop down shows —-Select—-). If so, that is how I have it set currently. . . or do you mean that I should also have my Front page set as undefined (drop down would show —-Select—-) and leave Front page set to Static page (since it is a static page).??

I believe you mean to leave Settings > Reading as Static Front Page (set to current homepage) and Posts Page set as null (—-Select—-),
AND set Enfold > Theme Options > Frontpage setting to current homepage and > Where to display Blog set as “Blog”

I want to be sure I get this right.
Thanks
Jon

Hey thanks Peter! i’ll play with those.

Guessing drop those in the Quick CSS box in General Styling?

Best

Hi Guenni007

Thanks! Private messages would have certainly helped. I figured it was the message not being seen bc y’all have responded so quickly before.

Glad we got it. So does a thread being marked as “Read” prevent y’all from seeing replies? I can see my replies, but that’s just on my computer and could be cookies showing stuff.

Just save the new code and it works perfectly! Thanks for all of your help!
Best,
Jon

Oh, and can you confirm that you are seeing my replies? I’m not sure what the impact of this thread having been marked as “Read” has, but it may be that y’all are not seeing my replies.

Hi Ismael,

I have moved my blog back to another domain until I get a few things dialed in, but the post I am referring to is not deleted on this site, it (and all others–and I did find some others like this . . . . and the title doesn’t show up on some posts either) are in the drafts box.

Info follows in private box.
Jon

PS, I have marked my blog as “select blog page” in both WordPress settings and in the Enfold Child blog settings. I am guessing it’ll need to be changed to “Blog” to change the post I originally referred to Published and to be able to see it on my site.
