• Hi,
    When I chose the option “Feature and excerpts” in the layout settings of my theme (Bombax) the first post is always displayed two times: as a feature and as an excerps. I would like to have it displayed only as a feature. What should I do to avoid this duplication?
    My blog is https://www.freereporter.info/wordpress/
    Thanks for your help!

  • Have you posted this on their forum, they might have a solution for this.

    I have installed the Bombax theme, have you tried to change the theme’s settings i.e. go to Appearance >> Bombax theme options >> Front Page >> under Layout change the settings under Display type in home page:

    This might resolve your problem.

    Let me know how you go.

    Kind regards

    Thanks, but that’s exactly what I had done, but the post is stil displayed two times: as a feature and as an excerpt. I just want it as a feature.

    I have changed the theme’s settings to Appearance >> Bombax theme options >> Front Page >> under Layout change the settings under Display Type in Home Page: to Traditional….

    That worked for me although I only have to post on my testing platform……

    Let me know how you go.

    Kind regards

    Thanks. I understand, but the point is that I don;t want “traditional” layout. I want a “feature and excerpts” layout while avoiding to have the same post displayed two times on the frontpage : as a featured post and as an excerpt. Did you try setting the “feature and excerpts” layout and see if the featured psot also get displayed as an excerpt on the frontpage?

    I will try that option and see what happens. I will report back soon

    Hi I had a look at your site and I can’t see double post anymore? I have also tried your options above and I don’t get double either…..

    This is my testing site https://basictemplate.mbrsolution.com/wptest/

    can you see the double on my site now: https://www.freereporter.info/wordpress/category/development/?

    Yes I can see double on your site. I think the best option is to get in contact with the theme developers and ask them. The only solution to this problem might be a bug in their design or you would have to create or edit the php code and create a rule to display only once if you choose “feature and excerpts” which is what you want.

    Unfortunately I am not a php developer although I am learning more and more each time.

    Sorry if I cannot help you with your current problem.

    Let me know if you find a solution as I would like to publish it on my blog.

    Kind regards
