I also have this problem. I want to show the excerpts on the category and blog pages, full article on the post page, and only show date, article title and photo on front page.
My front page is a page with sections, and I am using Magee short code to display recent posts in 3 sections and I want all 3 to hide the entry-summary.
So far I have added the .entry-summary { display: none; } to my CSS to hide it, but this also means the entry summaries are hidden on my blog page and category pages.
Website is soakupthesun.co – I am looking for the PHP coding to hide the entry-summary on the front page. Below is my current untouched content.php code – YES i have a child theme, just no knowledge on PHP.
<?php
$format = get_post_format();
$formats = get_theme_support( 'post-formats' );
$archive_content = onetone_option('archive_content','content');
?>
<div class="entry-box-wrap" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<article <?php post_class("entry-box"); ?> role="article">
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ): ?>
<div class="feature-img-box">
<div class="img-box figcaption-middle text-center from-top fade-in">
<a>">
<?php the_post_thumbnail();?>
<div class="img-overlay dark">
<div class="img-overlay-container">
<div class="img-overlay-content">
<i class="fa fa-link"></i>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</a>
</div>
</div>
<?php endif;?>
<div class="entry-main">
<div class="entry-header">
<a>"><h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title();?></h1></a>
<ul class="entry-meta">
<li class="entry-date"><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i><a>"><?php echo get_the_date("M d, Y");?></a>
<li class="entry-author"><i class="fa fa-user"></i><?php echo get_the_author_link();?>
<li class="entry-catagory"><i class="fa fa-file-o"></i><?php the_category(', '); ?>
<li class="entry-comments"><i class="fa fa-comment"></i><a>#comments"><?php comments_popup_link( __('No comments yet','onetone'), __('1 comment','onetone'), __('% comments','onetone'), 'comments-link', '');?></a>
</div>
<?php if ( is_search() ) : // Only display Excerpts for Search ?>
<div class="entry-summary">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-summary -->
<?php else : ?>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php if ( $archive_content =='content' ) : // Only display Excerpts for Search ?>
<?php the_content( ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-links">', 'after' => '</div>', 'link_before' => '<span class="active-link">', 'link_after' => '</span>' ) ); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="entry-footer">
<a>" class="entry-more pull-right"><?php _e("Read More","onetone");?> >></a>
</div>
</div>
</article>
