Sorry it stripped the code. I’m using the slug url inside <a name="Slug url"></a>

I was having the hardest time to get this code, other codes & custom fields to work, so I tried a different approach: Templates.

This won’t be the best detailed instructions, but here we go:

1) take your page.php and make a copy of it, name it page-notitle.php (you can find this file in your theme folder /wp-content/themes/name of your theme/page.php)
2) add this to the top of your code (this is what gives the name to your new template page that you’ll see in your drop down menu when you make a new PAGE, not post):

<?php
/*
Template Name: Full Width Page No Title
*/
?>

So it will look something like this:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Full Width Page No Title
*/
?>

<?php the_post(); ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
	<?php if (get_option('thesource_integration_single_top') <> '' && get_option('thesource_integrate_singletop_enable') == 'on') echo(get_option('thesource_integration_single_top')); ?>	

	<div id="main-content-wrap">
		<div id="main-content" class="clearfix fullwidth">
			<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/breadcrumb.php'); ?>
			<div id="top-shadow"<?php if(is_front_page()) echo(' class="nobg"'); ?>></div>

			<div id="recent-posts" class="clearfix">
				<div class="entry post clearfix">

					<div class="entry-content">
						<?php $thumb = '';
							  $width = get_option('thesource_thumbnail_width_pages');
							  $height = get_option('thesource_thumbnail_height_pages');
							  $classtext = 'thumb alignleft';
							  $titletext = get_the_title();

							  $thumbnail = get_thumbnail($width,$height,$classtext,$titletext,$titletext);
							  $thumb = $thumbnail["thumb"]; ?>

						<?php if($thumb <> '' && get_option('thesource_page_thumbnails') == 'on') { ?>
							<?php print_thumbnail($thumb, $thumbnail["use_timthumb"], $titletext , $width, $height, $classtext); ?>
							<p class="date"><span><?php the_time(get_option('thesource_date_format')) ?></span></p>
						<?php }; ?>

						<?php the_content(); ?>
						<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>'.__('Pages','TheSource').':</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
						<?php edit_post_link(__('Edit this page','TheSource')); ?>
					</div> <!-- end .entry-content -->
				</div> <!-- end .entry -->

				<?php if (get_option('thesource_show_pagescomments') == 'on') comments_template('', true); ?>

			</div> <!-- end #recent-posts -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Then find your title code, should look similar to this & delete it:
<h1 class="title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1> or <?php the_title(); ?>

Once that code is delete upload your file (FTP) to your theme folder

Here is a way to redirect one category, I would like to know a way to redirect multiple categories

https://www.elegantthemes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=17089&sid=f853d807361ffa33c046f84cd90bee31

Replace:

<p><?php truncate_post(365); ?></p>

With code:

<?php
 $customField = get_post_custom_values("full");
 if (isset($customField[0])) {
 //Custom field is set, display a full post
 the_content();
 } else {
 // No custom field set, let's display an excerpt
 the_excerpt(); ?>

 <?php } ?>

Instructions:

For post you want to display full, in custom field put full, value not reivent

————————————————-

To get rid of the readmore button on full post

Replace:

<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="readmore"><span><?php _e('Read More','TheSource'); ?></span></a>

with code:

<?php if(is_category('food-for-thought')) { echo ""; } else { ?>
      <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="readmore"><span><?php _e('Read More','TheSource'); ?></span></a> <?php } ?>

Instructions: replace food-for-thought with your own category that you want to remove the read more button

I would very much love the answer to this question, wordpress wizards can you please help?

Ran into a great plugin that makes a page look very similar to a category….blog in blog plugin. It takes any category and places it in a page of your choice with shortcode.

Wanted to thank t31os_ for the wp_redirect code, but I was wondering how to code it to redirect more than one page? I’m looking to redirect many categories to pages, because I can’t get just ONE category to show a full post (unless anyone has any ideas?).

Here is my code I used to make one redirect work:

<?php if(is_category('partnered_events')) { sleep(1); wp_redirect('https://www.boisestatepublicradio.org/wordpress/events/'); exit; }
wp_head(); ?>

Cheers

So I’m looking to do the same thing as Yesfree (have one category display full post, but my codes theme is a little different, so I’m having trouble taking esmi code and adding it to my themes code, any one out there to help, maybe esmi

Code:

/*this function allows for the auto-creation of post excerpts*/
function truncate_post($amount,$echo=true) {
	global $post, $shortname;

	$postExcerpt = '';
	$postExcerpt = $post->post_excerpt;

	if (get_option($shortname.'_use_excerpt') == 'on' && $postExcerpt <> '') {
		if ($echo) echo $postExcerpt;
		else return $postExcerpt;
	} else {
		$truncate = $post->post_content;

		$truncate = preg_replace('@\[caption[^\]]*?\].*?\[\/caption]@si', '', $truncate);

		if ( strlen($truncate) <= $amount ) $echo_out = ''; else $echo_out = '...';
		$truncate = apply_filters('the_content', $truncate);
		$truncate = preg_replace('@<script[^>]*?>.*?</script>@si', '', $truncate);
		$truncate = preg_replace('@<style[^>]*?>.*?</style>@si', '', $truncate);

		$truncate = strip_tags($truncate);

Try the Category Shortcode plugin.

I’m having the same problem with the drop down menu showing ONLY the current month. https://www.brettthompsonracing.com/blog/?cat=6 Do I need to change around my permalink structure which is default?
