Prevent excerpt on custom front page

Resolved strophy

Hi,

in order to remove the sidebar from the front page of my site, I created a child theme and added a front-page.php to it without the sidebar code. This worked fine, but now the front page displays an excerpt with a “Continue reading” button rather than the full page. How can I fix this? Or would it be better to remove the sidebar in some other way instead?

Thanks for the fantastic theme!
Leon

replace this similiart code in frontpage.php
<?php echo dez_get_custom_the_excerpt($archive_excerpt); ?>
to
<?php echo the_content('...more'); ?>

Thanks Richie! Actually the whole design of the front page changed, now there is a big image to the left in a class="post-thumb in-archive" div tag and the continue reading button is still at the bottom. I think the template hierarchy has changed and the front page thinks it is an archive page now, should I name the front page template differently?

Thanks so much for your help, I’ll talk with the others about getting a beer donation together for you! 🙂

Sorry, our editor reverted to the normal theme without the child modifications. That’s why the sidebar was back. Have another look now and you should see the problem.

Thanks 🙂

try rename your front-page.php to front-pagex.php and copy paste the page-templates/template-full-width.php into theme root /mesocolumn/ and rename it to front-page.php

see if this solved the issue.

Thanks so much Richie! That totally solved the problem, and I even understand why 🙂
