Longer excerpt on featured post

Hi Mark,

Give this a shot:

add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'tu_featured_excerpt_length', 50 );
function tu_featured_excerpt_length( $length ) {
    $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
    global $wp_query;

    if ( 1 == $paged && 0 == $wp_query->current_post ) {
        return 100; // First post
    }

    return $length;
}

Thank you, it works perfectly.

You're welcome :)

Hi,

I would also like to change the excerpt length on the featured post.
I tried the solution above but it doesn't seem to work. Is is still valid or am I doing something wrong? I added the code above in the custom CSS.

Thanks

Hi Karel,

The PHP snippet is for the 1st post on your blog page.

If it's not your case, can you open a new topic and link us to your site?

Thanks!

Hi Ying,

Yes, it is for the featured post, which is the first post shown on the blog page.

Hi there,

that should still work, but its dependent on the site.
If you want to raise a new topic where you can share a link to your site we can take a look as to why its not working.
If you could include the URL to this topic in your new one for reference it would be much appreciated.
