How to Make Changes to Default Blog Display

Cathy — Tue, 14 Apr 2015 16:39:28 +0000

My default blog shows multiple blog excerpts on the blog landing page. Example: https://www.inthelittle.com/blog-st-louis-newborn-baby-child-photographer/

Is it possible, instead, to have a blog landing page that displays the full length of a blog post, one post right after the next, beginning with the most recent post.

Of course, it would be nice to limit the number of posts that would be displayed on one page (for pageload reasons), so the ability to go to the next page of posts would also be helpful.

Is there a setting for this somewhere that I’m overlooking or is it possible to make this work (fairly easily) if I edit the code?

Thanks for your help!
Cathy

Hi Cathy,

The settings for the Blog are located in Theme Options:

Appearance -> Theme Options -> Blog Options

The Blog sidebar can be turned off from there. Do I understand it right you would like to display the whole content instead of the excerpt. So the same you would see in the detail of this post? The overview page is meant for a “teaser” of the post and if the reader is interested then they enter in the single view to read more.

The pagination number can be set with the default WordPress setting available under:

Settings -> Reading -> Blog pages show at most N posts

Cheers

Yes, that’s correct. I would prefer to not have excerpts displayed. Instead, I would like to show the whole content, one post right after the next.

Is there a way to make this happen?

Hey,

To change this you will have to modify the files:

content-post-audio.php
content-post-image.php
content-post-link.php
content-post-quote.php
content-post-standard.php
content-post-video.php

content-post-audio.php

content-post-image.php

content-post-link.php

content-post-quote.php

content-post-standard.php

content-post-video.php

and instead of “ishyoboy_get_blog_excerpt();” function if used, use “ishyoboy_the_content();”

The best way to do this modification is to use a child theme:

What is a child theme and how, but mainly why to use it?
