    Hi,

    I am using the posts to show Special Offers on one page. As such we have a page called Special Offers with a ‘Blog posts’ widget inserted. The problem is that despite the widget being set with ‘Blog Content length’ to show ‘ Full Content’ it is not showing it – instead it just shows the header/featured image and the title and excerpt text.

    Can you please tell me how to get this fixed?

    Hey deanodv8,

    The Blog posts Element, when set to “Full Content”, uses WordPress’ the_content function (instead of the the_excerpt function). As it says here in WordPress’ documentation:

    If the quicktag <!--more--> is used in a post to designate the “cut-off” point for the post to be excerpted, the_content() tag will only show the excerpt up to the <!--more--> quicktag point on non-single/non-permalink post pages.

    You used the More ktag, that’s why the article gets cut off. To solve this, please remove the quicktag. If you need for the post to have an excerpt, please put that text in the Excerpt field so you can use it elsewhere. 

    I hope that helps! You can read more about exerpts and the More tag here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/more-tag/

    Best regards,
    Sarah
