    No matter what I set on Content Archives, I can't display full posts. When I choose Display post content from the drop down and leave Limit content to ... characters blank, I only get titles on the main blog page. Esensenelly, I only get full posts on single posts.

    I'm using a child theme based on the default framework. I've tried switching to that, the default framework, but I get the same result. Anyone else have this problem, or better yet, know how to fix this?

    There's nothing in reading settings that I can see that would cause this. The problem doesn't happen when I switch to another theme. It only happens with Genesis. It didn't use to be the case. I switched to excerpts and then tried to switch back. No matter what I select, it wont show full posts.

    In case this happens to anyone else, I was able to fix it by uninstalling Genesis and then deleting every table from the database associated with Genesis. I used a plugin called Database Peek., I did a search in wp_options for anything with the word "Genesis" in it and then deleted it in phpMyAdmin.

    I then reinstalled Genesis. I was able to configure it to show full posts. I don't know why it wasn't changing, but I'm assuming it has something to do with the database.
