You can use the in_category function to test if the current post in the loop is in the specific category you want to display full content for. For example if ( in_category( ‘my_category’) ) : the_content(); else : the_excerpt(); endif; For more information on the in_category function see the WordPress codex at: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/in_category
after creating a child theme for Twenty Eleven, copy content.php from the Twenty Eleven theme into your child theme to edit it; find (line 35): <?php if ( is_search() ) : // Only display Excerpts for Search ?> change to: <?php if ( is_search() || is_paged() || $wp_query->current_post > 0 ) : // Only display … Read more
I’m assuming ‘Archive Page’ is a custom template and not either of the WP archive pages (category/date/author/tag/taxonomy). Try using this: <?php add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘trim_content’); function trim_content($content) { if(is_archive()) { //use your own trick to get the first 50 words. I’m getting the first 100 characters just to show an example. $content = (strlen($content) <= 100)? $content … Read more
You could store the length like this. function store_excerpt_length($length) { update_option( ‘excerpt_length’, $length ); return $length; } add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, ‘store_excerpt_length’, 1000 ); Then use the following code to get the length. echo get_option( ‘excerpt_length’ );
I’m not familiar with the Matisse theme, but start by looking at loop.php and see if you can find the_content(); in there somewhere. If so, swap it out for the_excerpt(); and see if it shows up as expected. If that’s the answer you need, check out the Template Hierarchy in the Codex to find other … Read more
You need to hook into excerpt_more filter, for more information see Codex page, as examples of use Twenty Ten‘s and Twenty Eleven’s function files.
You Should go into index.php and change: the_excerpt(); //or similer to: the content(); If your code looks different paste it in pastebin and share a link. Best of luck, Sagive.
Try this: global $wp_embed; if ( get_option(’embed_autourls’) ) remove_filter(‘the_content’,array(&$wp_embed,’autoembed’)); // do excerpt/content stuff if ( get_option(’embed_autourls’) ) add_filter( ‘the_content’, array(&$wp_embed, ‘autoembed’), 8 );
Use wp_trim_words( $text, $num_words, $more_text ) The first argument is the text to trim, the second is the number of words you want and the third is the truncation text which defaults to an ellipsis. The function is located in wp-includes/formatting.php line 1920 (v3.3.1)
Had a bit of a brain wave and thought I would capture the output and return it in the function. Turns out it fixed the problem so the final code ended up looking like this: function amazon_video($atts){ extract( shortcode_atts( array( ‘file’ => $file ), $atts ) ); $url = get_bloginfo(‘url’); $return = “<embed src=””.$url.”/jwplayer/player.swf” name=”player” … Read more
