I have gone through the php code, and made several changes to no avail (now backed out) in an attempt to raise the value. I have also tried replacing theme<em>excerpt() with the</em>content() in index.php as suggested above (to Thassager) just to remove the excerpts entirely (seems the underscore characters in this paragraph might be being filtered, FYI).</p> <p>I’m just wanting the entire post to appear when a category is selected from the menu without having to click twice. I’m running 2.3.3 at present. Should I stay with this version or update to 2.4.9 and try to make the changes to that instead?</p> <p>Any thoughts/help/guidance appreciated.

I’m using the “Tubular” theme from StudioPress, and only the embedded video goes into the main “Edit Post” text box. The text goes into a custom text editor which appears below the main one when writing a new post. So my question is: what can I do to make this code work for this custom thingie. Here’s the snippet of code that…erm…echoes?…the content I’m trying to limit:</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20101120001120/http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/201/codee.jpg">http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/201/codee.jpg</a></p> <p>After I add the code to the functions document, do I just replace this code with something? If you go to my site, (don’t judge, it’s a work in progress), you can see how the “Newsies” review absolutely needs to be limited.
