    Hi,

    On the the main blog page (static front page, showing latest posts -as a reference see http://www.aivahthemes.com/musicplay/blog/)

    I’d like to have working links from my posts appear in the post summary.

    Secondly, as I’m planning on only having very short posts, here’s what I have in mind regarding how I’d like this to look and behave….

    I’d like to only have “read more” appear if/when I use the “insert more” tag when writing a post.

    a)If I do not use the insert more tag, then I’d like to see all content in my post appear on the main page, including formatting and clickable links (although I’m willing to sacrifice some formatting to get links on the main page). I’d also like to have the Share/social icons for the post appear on the main blog page. (If there are shortcodes I could insert into each post, that would also be an acceptable work around)

    b)If I DO use the “insert more” tag, then I’d like to see all works link, then use the read more option to go to the normal, current single post page.

    Thanks for any help/suggestions on how to do this!

    For blog post summary and full content i can do that for you if you give us your WP Logins and URL. If you wish to do yourself then you can edit that in template_blog.php file and find the code the_excerpt() and replace it with the_content()

    Share/social icons – you can use some shortcodes for that or you can use the below code in the php files where you wish to use the sociables icons
    <?php get_template_part('musicband/share','link'); ?>

    If you have any doubts you can contact us on Skype for better communication.

    Thanks!

    Quick note: I had to change this in loop.php in order for it to take affect.
