Custom Excerpt in Category

Hello dear @damyan90 the first thing you have to do is to create a child theme.
From the parent theme you have to copy the exact file structure.

“template-parts/content/category/category-style-1.php”.
Open the file category-style-1.php and find the line 13:

<?php the_excerpt(); ?> and change it with
<?php the_content(); ?>
You are done!

Hello again,

Thank you for the response!
But this solution will change the excerpts of all posts. And I need it only for a specific category.

Do you have an idea about this?

Thanks,
Damyan

Dear @damyan90 ofcourse we have a clue.
Please tell us the specific category and its slug.
Is is a plain post category or a custom taxonoy term?

Hello again,

I haven’t created the category yet, but I will. It will be named “vicove” and it will stay under https://haha.bg/vicove/

I found a way to remove …/category/… from the url.

I hope this helps.

No you don’t have to remove the category slug. You can wrap the following code like this:

if(is_category('vicove')): 
the_content();
else:
the_excerpt();
endif;

and you will notice that it will work.

Hello again,

Thanks, will test now.
But I do want to remove /category/ from the link. Will this prevent the function from working?

Hm I don’t think so because is_category is a WordPress built in method which looks at the category archive page.
Try this and please tell me
the result.

So, my bad about something.

The name of the category is “тестова”
The slug is “testova”
The url is: https://haha.bg/blog/category/testova/

This is a test category where I am trying to see if it will work. So, here is what I am doing:

And here it is what I am getting:

See that the excerpt is totally disappearing.

You haven’t wrap the code in the php tags.

<?php if…. ?>

Worked like a charm. Thank you!
