FlipFlop 3.0Missing Post Images on WordPress Pages
My images don’t show in posts on my blog’s front page — although you can see the images once you press ‘read more’. Am I doing something wrong?
No — it’s your theme’s index.php template file. It is currently configured to only show a post excerpt. If you don’t supply an optional custom excerpt, WordPress will create one automatically by stripping out all formatting, markup and images from the first 55 words of your post.
You have 2 options:
- Edit index.php template file in your theme and replace the_excerpt() with the_content(). Then edit each post and insert the
<!--more-->tag where you want your posts’ excerpts/teasers to finish. - Write a custom excerpt in the Excerpt field, under the post edit box. It can be as short, or as long, as you wish and can include images.
