Modify how posts are displayed

  • Hi,

    I changed the code so blog posts are shown in full instead of excerpt but can not work out how to modify that only last one is full. I would prefer the rest will be just excerpts.
    If you know please explain thru, I know how to change some codes and where to find most of them but I’m working with wordpress for a month so a rookie ??

    Interesting. Bit scary with so much code but it’s definitely going in the right direction. I would just have to work out how to change the rest from just titles to excerpt. ??

    I am sorry, I forgot to mention that you should consider creating a Child Theme, otherwise you risk losing all your customizations when you next update your theme.

    In addition, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong.

    Is it possible to disable the theme update?

    Creating a child theme really isn’t that hard. It took me about 5 minutes the first time and I haven’t coded in years. Just follow the steps. It’ll make your life so much easier!

    I would not suggest disabling theme updates as there are often useful bugfixes.

    Thanks Hannah, maybe I will take the plunge finally. Can you tell me if you have specific plugin in mind. There is quire a few out there and wonder which would be safest while having advanced options for later modifications.

    Definitely take the plunge. ??

    No, I don’t have any specific plug-ins in mind, as I’m not sure which ones you have. I would suggest disable them all and see if the issue is gone. If it is not gone, then you know it is not related to plugins and you can enable them all again. If the issue is gone, then turn on the plug-ins one by one, testing after each until you find out which one causes the issue to return.

    Good luck!
