Reply To: Custom Excerpt Length for Single Category in Child Theme

[Tom]

Hi Dee,

functions.php is like style.css in child themes – it should be empty and only contain the custom stuff.

As for your index.php, replace:

get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );

With:

get_template_part( 'content', 'custom' );

Then make a copy of content.php and name it content-custom.php.

It should look like this: https://gist.github.com/generatepress/c2b2ee0b36793b445571

Basically, I removed any reference to the_excerpt, so it’s only calling the_content, which will show the full content.

Let me know if that helps or not 🙂
