I am trying to get the full post to stop displaying after I click the excerpt. I have all the boxes set to "only excerpts" and the other to "0" yet when I click on the link to the post in the excerpt it shows the full post. I want it to only show the excerpt? Thanks

I assume that you are viewing the excerpts on the blog page. WordPress is designed that when you click on the link (the read more) it will bring you to the full post. Why would you want to click on an excerpt and only see the excerpt?

I just want to use it to post as a snippet. So yes I have the excerpt on the blog(home) page. Any way to do it?

thanks

but if you have excerpts on the home(blog) page, and I click on it and go to a page and only see the excerpt, how will someone ever see the full post?

I'm very unclear as to what you are trying to do.

I want them to click on the link from the excerpt back to my full post on another site.

Thanks, that makes sense. Somehow I overlooked the most obvious conclusion and all I had to do was turn the excerpt off!
