Twenty eleven mod: show full text on home/index page

    I’m using Twenty Eleven which has no real index page but seems to look to content.php to decide how to display posts. I’ve put in the <more> tag in all of my articles and now I want to show full-text on the main page only but can’t seem to find it.

    On my child them content.php I excised the code after the snippet <?php the_content(); ?> and the line following it in order not to show the ‘more’ link. But it seems not to affect the display.

    -Am I working on the right file? It’s the content.php in my child folder, copied from the Twenty Eleven theme folder.

    Ideally I’d like to show full text for the first 5 or so main page posts, then summaries/excerpts for another five or whatever. So if there’s an appropriate conditional to include, I’d really appreciate knowing.

    I thought I’d find this answer straight away, and saw some general replies on it, but not for the Twenty Eleven theme evidently.

    Thanks much….

    the above example is for the first post; to stretch it to 5 posts, you need to check the $wp_query->current_post in a conditional statement.

    example – locate this section in content.php:

    </header><!-- .entry-header -->

		<?php if ( is_search() ) : // Only display Excerpts for Search ?>
		<div class="entry-summary">

    after the changes:

    </header><!-- .entry-header -->
<?php global $more; if( $wp_query->current_post <= 4 && !is_paged() ) { $more = -1; } else { $more = 1; }  ?>
		<?php if ( is_search() || $wp_query->current_post > 4 || is_paged() ) : // Only display Excerpts for Search ?>
		<div class="entry-summary">

    this hopefully shows the first five posts in full – regardless of the more tag – and any following posts as excerpts; and exerpts only on paginated pages.
    if the general idea is also supposed to happen on the paginated pages, remove the is_paged() part from the conditionals.

    Hello @alchymyth –

    Thanks again for the quick reply. Again, works like a charm.

    I had not thought to look to the codex for the read more tag (thanks!). I didn’t guess it went to he fine-grain of ‘read more.’ (I come from Joomla!). Documentation for WP is so good and easy to use; www.remarpro.com is a first-class setup.
