excerpt

From looking at the plugins code in repo SVN trunk, you have only the option to add the_advanced_excerpt() manually in code. So simply don’t add it, or did I miss something?

Here is a custom function I’ve written to modify your excerpt however you want. You should NOT be changing any core files to make modifications, as these will be overwritten by any updates made to the WordPress framework: remove_filter(‘get_the_excerpt’, ‘wp_trim_excerpt’); add_filter(‘get_the_excerpt’, ‘preserve_excerpt_format’); function preserve_excerpt_format($text) { global $post; $raw_excerpt = $text; if (” == $text ) … Read more

For example, you run the the_content filter on your content which adds markup, only to run strip_tags later, which removes (at least some of) that markup. strip_tags … Read more

The layouts you want to achieve are basically depending on your css, you have to declare the rules for them depending on the body of each template (home and blog). For adding body classes take a look at the codex, if your theme … Read more

When there is <!–more–> tag inserted in post, this post will be truncated on lists pages. You can use global $more variable to make WordPress think it’s single page though. Here is your modified source: <?php query_posts(‘cat=1&paged=’.get_query_var(‘paged’)); ?> <?php global $more; $prev_more = $more; $more = 1; if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> … Read more
