There could be times when you want excerpts to appear on most pages of the site like archive pages, search results but want to show full content on Front page or Posts page (set at Settings > Reading) or on any Page with 'Blog' template applied to it.
Just add the following in child theme's functions.php:
I am an independent WordPress web consultant with 10 years of experience in WordPress theme installation, customization, administration, maintenance, support, documentation, troubleshooting and PSD/design to WP.
I wonder if you can help. I current have the content limit option selected in the genesis options for archive pages.. For one of my post-types “jobs” I want to force the excerpt to show on the archive pages instead.
Could you possible guide me?
Brilliant. Thank you very much for helping with this and guiding me. You may have wondered why I was asking about using excerpts for some post types so let me link over to my site so you can see how it works. Basically I have a jobs section which I’m building and the excerpts will work to show key data about the job.
This is amazing!!!!
I have one question. If i want my blog page to show the first two posts as full content and then below that to show 5 excerpts how would I do that? Thanks so much!!!
I tried that but unfortunately I have to choose a minimum of a two column layout for the post excerpts and i want them to be in a single column. Is there a work around for that? Thanks again!
I’m working with Agency Pro an wondering if you can help with a small problem… I need to move the “read more” up to the previous line to prevent longer excerpts from running too long. Is it an easy fix?
This works like a charm! Many thanks!
Hi Sridhar,

Refer to https://gist.github.com/srikat/6912382. You would change
is_search()
to
is_post_type_archive( ‘jobs’ )

For other post types like sights, restaurants etc I stick with the regular content content limit text which is standard for the rest of the site.
Great job again and thank you kindly for helping me out.
