Is there a way my category archive display both full posts and excerpts?
What I want is the first two or three latest posts display as full content posts, and all the others as excerpts with just title and a read more button. These are displayed on one page. I am currently using a category archive, on the twentyfifteen theme.
I know I can set a page to either display full or just excerpts, but not a combination. Is this possible?
Thanks!
You can get these in your wordpress loop on page or post.
<?php
$content = get_content($post->ID); //full content of post
$excerpt = substr($content,0,150); //you can limit charaacter like 150
?>

I have a WordPress post which was divided into multiple pages using pager break <!--nextpage--> tag and it's pagination functionality is working as expected for single post page.
www.example.com/url-post-content/1
www.example.com/url-post-content/2
www.example.com/url-post-content/3
But problem is my category page where i am showing all posts for a category with pagination(single post on each page).
I want to show complete content of the post(without pagination) on my category post page because here i am showing single post per page for the category but the_content function in my loop returning content of only first page for a post which was divided into pages using <!--nextpage--> tag.
Need you help to find out a way for displaying complete content of a post which was splitted in pages using page break tag.
You can get complete content of post using code below.
Retrieves post data using get_post function.
$post_object = get_post($post_id); //
/// Now, you have post object and can get complete post content from post object
$post_content = $post_object->post_content;
use do_shortcode or apply_filters to properly format your post content.
echo do_shortcode($post_content);
I would like to direct users to appropriate archive pages from within the menu. If I want this I need a page that I can attach to the menu.
How would I display the exact same stuff as on the archive page (archive.php) on another page so that pagination and functionalities remain the same, but some stuff will be taken from the actual page ? (can create custom page template of course)
I'll still have to show a sidebar for the page that you visited and not archive's sidebar
Breadcrumbs path will still have to show current menu item position and not archive page path
To show sidebar from the actual page is of most importance here.
EDIT
What I want to achieve is this actually:
Lets say I have a page
http://my.page/subpage/something/notifications/
I want that on this page, I can display exactly the same stuff as on the certain archive page which is here:
http://my.page/subpage/notification/
('notification' is a custom post type here)
I already have a solution that displays all archive stuff on another page (created a page template for that), but its a bit complicated to display title, breadcrumbs and sidebar properly for each page, since some of these should stay the same as they would be, but some should take the value of another site.
You can create a custom page template and assign it to a page. On that page you can use get_posts() to query the posts you want, like this:
global $post;
$posts = query_posts( /* Your args here*/ );
foreach($posts as $post) {
setup_postdata($post);
// Do your stuff as in archive.php
}
wp_reset_postdata();
I want to show the page title in single post page of wordpress theme. I tried to use <?php echo get_the_title() ?> but it return the post title, not the page title.
basically I want to show MY page title, in this case "Blog" below my header area in single.php file. how do I make it?
In order to get page title you need to use WordPress API function use the code below
<?php
$post_7 = get_post($id);
$title = $post_7->post_title;
?>
In wordpress both posts and pages have ids. So same function will work to get title of either post or page.
You have to pass this parameter to get the title of the page.

I have a News page that displays all the posts within the "News" Category. This category has sub-categories such as "Merchandise, Music, Events" ect.
I am aiming to remove comments from ALL News/Sub-category posts but only display them with the "Blog" Category posts.
Right now I have my single.php set up so posts with the "Gallery" post_format structure are displayed differently.
Here is the single.php file//

I am wondering what I have to fix in order to get this working...
Edit: For future viewers, here is the updated paste from the conversation below for a single.php that will only show the comments template if the post is in the "Blog" Category: pastebin.com/y9ZtCN5U
Assuming you put your Blog posts on a page separate from your news posts, you should be able to use different templates based on category.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates
So, you could make a category-blog.php template file that doesn't include the comments code.
If all of your categories are being listed on the same page, use this instead of the in_category stuff on line 50.
<?php
foreach (get_the_category() as $category) {
if ( $category->name == 'Blog' ) {
comments_template();
}
}
?>
Not 100% sure that will work, but try it out and let me know what happens.
I use Barecity Theme for WordPress. i built everything, but now i need to add a single.php file to theme. now it displays all post content at homepage, I created a short_desc Custom Field. and I call it from code with;
<?php //get_post_meta($post->ID, 'short_desc', true); ?>
it is fine. but i need to display this short desc at home page listing, and the main content at details page. how can do that?
I appreciate helps!!
It sounds like what you are trying to do is show a custom field that you have set on a post on the index page (which lists all the posts).
To do that you'll need to modify index.php by adding your snippet where you would like to have the short description.
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'short_desc', true); ?>
You need to use echo to display the results from the get_post_meta function.
Depending on how your posts are setup you can also use the More button when you write your posts. This will cut off your post at a certain point that you decide and only show that short part on the index and archive pages.
Another option would be to use
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
Which shows the first 55 words (this can be adjusted though) of the post.
Hope that helps,
