How do I change the excerpt setting for a sticky post?

It is not clear at all from your question what you want to change the excerpt TO? What will be different about this post’s excerpt compared to all the other posts? Do you mean you want the full contents displayed on this first post only?

Hi stvwlf, thank for responding…I’m sorry I wasn’t clear…
I’ll try again:

The post I made a sticky is about signing up for a weekly course
for Beginner Bloggers/Marketers – it has a post title and then will be a 6″x4″table containing the invitation and the AWeber signup.

I think it would be better for that table to always appear whole
at the top of the next posts. I might be using the wrong name when
I said excerpt – in
the Settings the choice is between whole post and summary.

It occured to me just now that it would also work if there’s a
way to set the size of the summary…

I’m just getting familiar with WP so I might not be clear in stating my
dilema… I would appreciate some suggestions.

Thank you again for responding stvwlf!

Hi Fran

A simple way to do this is to put a conditional in the loop.
Within the loop you will see the_excerpt(). It gets replaced with something like this, which displays the full post on sticky posts and excerpts on other posts.

<?php
if (is_sticky()) {
   the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;');
} else {
   the_excerpt();
}
?>

Hey stvwlf Thank you so much!

I’ll go that… hope I get it right!

love ya

Fran
