I like to take a holistic approach to problem solving, systems thinking helps...


What shall we say then?


Wordpress

Full text of most recent post then limited word excerpts.

To provide the full content of the first post on your wordpress blog home page, followed by excerpts of the other recent posts, replace your the_content(); call in index.php with code code below. See it in action on mybarnconversion.com.

Through the use of a boolean, set to false on the first time through the loop we switch from full text to an excerpt.


<?php $lb_first=true; ?> 

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

  .....More Code......

  <?php 
  if(is_single()) 
  { the_content(); } 
  else 
  { 
    if ($lb_first) 
    {the_content(); $lb_first=false;} 
    else 
    {the_excerpt();} 
  } 
  ?>

  .....More Code......

<?php endwhile; ?>
