1 post on index followed by 10 recent title: Possible?

First, create a home.php for your theme. Just make a copy of index.php and name it home.php.

Then, replace The Loop in home.php with this:

<?php
// First post
$posts = get_posts('numberposts=1');
foreach ($posts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>

<!– Place here any template tags/html/etc. you want to in The Loop for your latest post. Based on your query: –>

<h3 class="post-title"><?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php endforeach;
// Next ten posts
get_posts('numberposts=10&offset=1');
foreach ($posts as $post) :
?>

<?php the_time('m:d:Y'); ?> - <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a>


<?php endforeach; ?>

(Note that ‘category’ is supported in 1.5.)

Thank you so muc Kafkaesqui ??

Just what I wanted.

Technically that works, but it causes the Loop to be run twice and an extra page to be created – not always desirable.

When I needed to do this, I just modified the index.php to set bIsFirstPost = true at the top, then changed the Loop to show the_content if that value is true, and the_excerpt if the value is false. Of course, you have to set bIsFirstPost = false at the end of the Loop ??

Doing it this way means home.php is available for something else and the Loop is only run once.

Hi RustIndy,

I might be interested in that.

Have you any code examples? Can’t quite get my head around what you do ??

Thanks
