How to exclude 1 or 2 category from showing full post

    Hey

    I am looking for a way to have most of my category pages showing full posts, except just 1 or 2, where I would like to see only part of the post with the link “Continue reading” which will reveal the whole post.

    I am using a theme where I can change either to one or another.

    So leaving “show full post” to “yes”, is there a way to exclude some specific categories from that.

    Here is the function:

    if ( ! function_exists( 'ct_author_excerpt' ) ) {
	function ct_author_excerpt() {

		global $post;
		$show_full_post = get_theme_mod( 'full_post' );
		$read_more_text = get_theme_mod( 'read_more_text' );
		$ismore         = strpos( $post->post_content, '<!--more-->' );

		if ( ( $show_full_post == 'yes' ) && ! is_search() ) {
			if ( $ismore ) {
				// Has to be written this way because i18n text CANNOT be stored in a variable
				if ( ! empty( $read_more_text ) ) {
					the_content( wp_kses_post( $read_more_text ) . " <span class='screen-reader-text'>" . get_the_title() . "</span>" );
				} else {
					the_content( __( 'Continue reading', 'author' ) . " <span class='screen-reader-text'>" . get_the_title() . "</span>" );
				}
			} else {
				the_content();
			}
		} elseif ( $ismore ) {
			if ( ! empty( $read_more_text ) ) {
				the_content( wp_kses_post( $read_more_text ) . " <span class='screen-reader-text'>" . get_the_title() . "</span>" );
			} else {
				the_content( __( 'Continue reading', 'author' ) . " <span class='screen-reader-text'>" . get_the_title() . "</span>" );
			}
		} else {
			the_excerpt();
		}
	}
}

    I have no knowledge in php to do it properly, a help would be appreciated ??

    I managed to figure it out.
    by default the show full post is set to YES.

    Here is the code:

    if ( ! function_exists( 'ct_author_excerpt' ) ) {
	function ct_author_excerpt() {

		global $post;
		$categories = get_the_category( $post->ID );
		$show_full_post = get_theme_mod( 'full_post' ) ;
		$read_more_text = get_theme_mod( 'read_more_text' );
		$ismore         = strpos( $post->post_content, '<!--more-->' );

		if ( ( $show_full_post == 'yes' ) && ! is_search() ) {
			if ( $ismore ) {
				// Has to be written this way because i18n text CANNOT be stored in a variable
				if ( ! empty( $read_more_text ) ) {
					the_content( wp_kses_post( $read_more_text ) . " <span class='screen-reader-text'>" . get_the_title() . "</span>" );
				} else {
					the_content( __( 'Continue reading', 'author' ) . " <span class='screen-reader-text'>" . get_the_title() . "</span>" );
				}
				// Next part edited by Andres
			} else {
				if ( is_category ( array ( '106' , '107' ) ) ) {
					the_content();
				} else {
					the_excerpt();
				}
			}	

		} elseif ( $ismore ) {
			if ( ! empty( $read_more_text ) ) {
				the_content( wp_kses_post( $read_more_text ) . " <span class='screen-reader-text'>" . get_the_title() . "</span>" );
			} else {
				the_content( __( 'Continue reading', 'author' ) . " <span class='screen-reader-text'>" . get_the_title() . "</span>" );
			}
		} else {
			the_excerpt();
		}
	}
}
