Show 1 Entire Post on a Page

I’m interested in finding out how to show the full post on the page as well.

How to remove the “posted in” part has been addressed here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/posted-in-and-comments-off.

Howdy jamesebeling & st7n:

By default, it’ll use the excerpt to render your post, so you’ll need to follow the instructions to change the output template.

The output template shows the following by default:

<!-- Start of Post Wrap -->
<div class="post hentry ivycat-post">
	<!-- This is the output of the post TITLE -->
	<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

	<!-- This is the output of the EXCERPT -->
	<div class="entry-summary">
		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
	</div>

	<!-- This is the output of the META information -->
	<div class="entry-utility">
		<?php if ( count( get_the_category() ) ) : ?>
			<span class="cat-links">
				<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted in</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links', get_the_category_list( ', ' ) ); ?>
			</span>
			<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<?php
			$tags_list = get_the_tag_list( '', ', ' );
			if ( $tags_list ):
		?>
			<span class="tag-links">
				<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Tagged</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-tag-links', $tags_list ); ?>
			</span>
			<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<span class="comments-link"><?php comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave a comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '1 Comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '% Comments', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></span>
		<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'twentyten' ), '<span class="meta-sep">|</span> <span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
	</div>
</div>
<!-- // End of Post Wrap -->

You both are going to want to change the_excerpt() to the_content() and then look for the section marked . . .

<!-- This is the output of the META information -->

. . . to change or remove meta info like ‘posted in.’

Hope that helps.

How would I modify if I want just some of the content. Say the first 300 words?

Thanks!

Hi hhart,

There’s no built-in facility for this in the plugin, but you could create your own custom excerpt function and call it instead of the_excerpt() – see this page for more:
