You are most welcome!

I’ve gotta say, and I mean no disrespect, but after looking through a number of forum threads for help customizing X-theme, the answer almost always seems to come down to creating a child theme. I thought the point of spending money on a theme like this was to be able to use the built-in options to quickly and easily make adjustments. Creating child themes and adding all these lines of code is the opposite of quick and easy.

If you guys can make this option on the customizer…

Full Post Content on Index
On
Off

… why can’t you make a similar option just below it for Full Post Content on Categories Page?

Similarly if you can make …

Post Meta
On
Off

… why can’t you add checkboxes for the Author, Date, Category, etc. so we can quickly choose precisely what we want to post?

I’d like to change these things, but it’s not worth the time and effort to learn all the ins and outs when I’ve got more important things to do.

Sorry to B&M…just feeling a little frustrated. Thanks for your time.

Hi there,

Please check more about child theme here https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

We’re balancing performance and options at the same time. Most of theme customization is done one time or two, unless there is a need to redesign it again.

Adding more options like wizard is resources expensive, imagine the library and options used are to be loaded every time the site loads in which your changes is just to hide a simple text. If you will do customization through child theme, it will become permanent and faster as there are no need to loads extra library and options code.

There are other finished themes that are bombarded with options, they become slower. And when it comes to deep customization, you can’t easily customize them as they are more reliant on options.

We’re open to improvement, so I’ll take this as a feature request

Thanks for understanding.

I’m also trying to include images (and all content) in category posts.

I cannot fine a _content.php file or the wp-content\themes\x-child-renew\framework\views\global directory in my theme. I’m on the most current versions of WP and the X Theme (Integrity).

[ChristopherModerator]

Hi there,

Please find and download _content.php file from wp-content\themes\x\framework\views\global.
Upload this file in wp-content\themes\x-child-renew\framework\views\global.

Replace exiting code with the one we provided in previous replay https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/need-category-post-to-display-full-content-not-excerpt/#post-144004

Hope it helps.

Apologies, that isn’t clear to me at all.

Could you please walk me through, step-by-step, exactly how to do this?

The documents that appear under Appearance > Editor for my X (parent) theme are simply .php files. I have no access to any directory (I am hosting on GoDaddy). I cannot access (or don’t know how to access) wp-content\themes\x\framework\views\global through WordPress. Of course, I can access this directory (and the file) through the X theme saved on my computer.

I don’t know how to upload a new file or create a new file in either the X (parent) theme or X (child) theme. The only documents under Appearance > Editor for my X (child) theme are functions.php and style.css.

Also, how does uploading a file under the x-child-renew directory help? I am using the Integrity stack.

Please, kindly walk me through step-by-step.

Hi there,

I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear enough.

Please contact your host provider and ask for FTP credentials.
Connect to FTP account using FileZilla, see https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/ftp/filezilla.htm

Please download _content.php file from root directory\wp-content\themes\x\framework\views\global.
Upload this file in root directory\wp-content\themes\x-child-renew\framework\views\global.

Hope it helps.

[jkneitelParticipant]

To be clear, I’m using the integrity theme. I installed an x-child theme.

However, in the x-child directory, there is no “x-child-renew.”

To where am I supposed to upload the _content.php file?

[jkneitelParticipant]

My directory goes root directory\wp-content\themes\x-child\framework\views\global.

[RadModerator]

Hi there,

That’s from an old child theme, the latest child theme is x-child which is correct from your provided folder path.

Thanks!

[jkneitelParticipant]

Sorry, what’s from an old child theme? I downloaded and installed the child theme two days ago.

Please, consider me an absolute novice. I purchased the “x-theme” as I’m not meant to need to know how to code.

If you could, kindly walk me through step-by-step what needs to be placed where. The Integrity theme, x-child theme, and WP were installed two days ago and are the most current versions.

[RadModerator]

Hi there,

Sorry for the confusion, the /x-child-renew/ is from old child theme folder name. Since you have the latest child theme, then it should go to /x-child/. Which ic correct from your provided folder path.

Instead of this, \wp-content\themes\x-child-new\framework\views\global\ then you’ll be working on this \wp-content\themes\x-child\framework\views\global\

And child theme folder name can be changed anytime, all changes should be applied to the active child theme of any name.

\wp-content\themes\x-child-renew\
\wp-content\themes\x-child\
\wp-content\themes\my-custom-child-theme\

Thanks!

[jkneitelParticipant]

I put the _content.php file in my \wp-content\themes\x-child folder. It is not showing up under Appearance > Editor.

What am I doing wrong? Please take me through, step-by-step. Again, please assume I have no knowledge on what I’m doing.

[ChristopherModerator]

Hi there,

Core files are not accessible via wordpress dashboard, you should edit them directly using FTP account.

Did you replace existing code with the one we provided in this replay ?https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/need-category-post-to-display-full-content-not-excerpt/#post-144004

Please provide us with URL, login and FTP credentials if you need further assist.

Thanks.

[jkneitelParticipant]

Thank you. That actually did work, but with a caveat.

For anyone reading this, I had to download the Notepad++ editor, copy the code in this thread (https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/need-category-post-to-display-full-content-not-excerpt/#post-144004) and REPLACE the existing code in the _content.php file. Simply appending it at the end of the code didn’t work.

The caveat: the only way to get this to function is to introduce a new category page on the menu. This sort of works. A big problem that I have is that I cannot edit the category page using Cornerstone. This means that I cannot introduce an introductory paragraph or other content above the posts.

Please, can you provide an option where I can create a page, have an introductory paragraph, and then the posts?
