marmarr on "How to display full blog post in categories"

My blog posts do not have a parent page. The menu has 5 menu items which are the blog categories. The blogs show up on their assigned category page. So I can’t make it display the full blog posts from the admin panel as far as I know.

I copied the archive.php file from the attituse theme and put in my code and put it in my attitude child theme folder.

The code I tried is

<?php the_content(); ?>

as suggested here http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates

and

<?php
global $more;    // Declare global $more (before the loop).
$more = 1;       // Set (inside the loop) to display all content, including text below more.
the_content();
?>

as suggested here http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_content

It did not work… I put the code in the beginning of the file. I named the file the same “archive.php” and put it in the child theme.

What do you think I am doing wrong?
