show single post above the loop on home page

  • I have a home page that shows excerpts but above these posts (before the loop in code) I want to display one individual post in full. If I use the “sticky” function of course that post gets abbreviated like the other posts.

    I read up on “get_posts” but can’t seem to grasp how to get a single post by id – which is what I imagine I need to do.

    Please help or point me to the right page in the codex!!

    Thanks!

  • You can always sticky it, and add the ENTIRE post to the excerpt section….if you are using <?php the_excerpt(); ?> to grab it.

    get a variable $counter = 1; inside the loop write a condition like

    if($counter == 1){
 the_content();
}else{
 the_excerpt();
}

$counter++;
