I would like to display the posts the way they are shown when you have "show latest post" selected under reading settings.
I've tried using query_posts, but that displays the whole post, not the chunk that appears in the preview with the link at the bottom.
any ideas what I should be querying to get that?
Edit
I forgot to mention
I tried using the_excerpt(), but that doesn't show the image in the post. Also the index.php file is using the the_content() and it's displaying it the way I want it to
If you don't want to show the whole post, you should use the_excerpt() instead of the_post()
Edit:
From codex:
<?php the_content('Read more...'); ?> Displays the content of the post and uses "Read more..." for the more link text when the Quicktag is used.
Basically, use the_content('your text for the link') and add the quicktag to your article, this will automatically just show the text before

I am working with wordpress latest version.
As in wordrpess, we can add URL while adding a featured image in a post as there are text fields like caption, title, alt text, description, URL etc.
I've added a link like http://example.com/abc-news
I am fine to show the featured image in the blog post but I want that link as
{featured-image}
So that, if anyone clicks on the featured image he/she will go to that link.
Any help would be appreciated.
If you are using the default theme with the latest version of WordPress, you can edit content.php in the 2014 theme directory.
You need to wrap <?php twentyfourteen_post_thumbnail(); ?> with the link code pointing to your URL.
This code should be around line 13 in content.php.
<?php twentyfourteen_post_thumbnail(); ?>
To link to the current blog post, you could add this code:
<?php twentyfourteen_post_thumbnail(); ?>
If you are using a different theme than the default, open the file which contains The Loop in your theme, search for the_post_thumbnail or a similarly named function, and change the code as above.
The exact answer will vary depending on theme, but 98% of the time the fix should be similar to the above. Hope this helps.
Edit: Here's some more information: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_post_thumbnail#Post_Thumbnail_Linking_to_the_Post_Permalink
Thanks for your prompt reply.
You are right that it's 98% depending on the theme.
The theme is using a meta_value to add a custom URL for the featured image.
So, I need to get that URL through get_post_meta
I've got from here.
And I am fine with it now. :-)
Thanks

Replace <?php the_excerpt() ?>and add the following code to your theme's loop.
<?php the_content(); ?>
That should display the content, rather that the excerpt.
On a mobile version of my site, I want to ignore the tag and display the full text of every post. How can I do this? This cuts off the text and inserts (more...):
<?php the_content(); ?>
In your PAGE.PHP underneath this code you are using EXCERPT function, either remove EXCERPT from there.
Hello i'm using widgets_on_pages to place widgets on pages, i installed it and added a widget to the panel in my admin section, then i added [widgets_on_pages id=2] ("its the 2nd sidebar and it said i should add this") into my html on the place where the widget should appear but it only shows the code i added in pure text, nothing else happens, anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
If I understand correctly then the following applies... if not, apologies.
You should not need to do it this way. It seems that Vincent, you are trying to add the shortcode into a theme php file... this is incorrect and the shortcode is for adding into the page/post content by the post/page editor.
To add a Widgets on Pages sidebar to a template then v 0.0.7 (I believe) has built in template tags (see link text). This should allow you to add the following I think
<?php widgets_on_template("2"); ?>
Try this
<?php echo do_shortcode('[widgets_on_pages id=2]'] ?>
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,
Paul
