2 Full posts and excerpt

[dianabauman 0]

I'm having a problem on the homepage of a magazine layout in Platform Pro. I would like two full posts followed by excerpts with thumbnails as in the following link. www.spain-in-iowa.com. It's currently showing a full post and excerpt on the top two featured posts. Any help would be great! Thank you! diana bauman

Hi, are you in magazine or blog layout mode. Can you give us a link to the site you're trying to fix? The link you showed is, I believe, in magazine mode (under "blog and posts" settings) with "2" selected for "Number of full width posts?".

That link is the site I'm trying to fix. It's currently in magazine mode however the two top posts are reading both full posts and excerpts. I'm not sure how to get rid of the excerpts for the top, yet keep the excerpts on the bottom.

I was just able to replicate your problem. I did it by checking "Posts/Blog Page" under "Full Post Content" in the "Blog and Posts" settings page, and also having a custom excerpt in my post. In your post, do you have anything typed into the "excerpt" box?

No, the excerpt section is empty however, I have two things going on... 1. Under Blog and Posts, Full Width Posts, I have 2 checked. 2. Under Post Excerpt or Summary Handling I checked posts/blog page. So I think that's why it's doing both. If I uncheck posts/blog page under Post Excerpt or Summary Handling then the bottom posts lose their excerpt which I want. I'm not sure if I need to code something in? Thanks so much for looking into this!! diana

So then wouldn't you just uncheck the post excerpt handling for posts/pages ?

[kastelic 6]

Yes, but then you lose the excerpt for the rest of the posts.

Right. If I uncheck then the excerpts are lost on the posts below the two full width. Will this need special coding?

Will I need special coding so the full width posts don't show the posts and the excerpt?

Okay let's add some custom css to handle this. ` .home .fpost .post-excerpt { display: none; } ` This should only hide the excerpts on the full posts on the home page.
