No Excerpt

Hello Support at GP !
Is it possible to excerpt only certain posts, while the rest remain not-excerpted? Please see http://www.understand-culture.com
I would like the option to excerpt all of the posts under Discussion: https://understand-culture.com/discussions/
The discussions are Q&As. And my answers are often rather long.
Thanks !
John
Hi there,
Try this Snippet:
add_filter( 'generate_show_excerpt', function( $show ) {
if ( cat_is_ancestor_of(6, get_query_var( 'cat' )) || is_category(6) ) {
return true;
}
return $show;
} );In the code you will see the number 6 in two instances - both need to be replaced with the Parent Category ID ( ie. Discussions ). You can get the ID by editing the category, then click in the browser URL bar to see the full URL within it you will see ID=#. Update the code to that.
Then the Discussions category archive ( if accessed directly ) or any Child Category of it will display the excerpt.
Worked like a charm, David. You're a wizard !
Huge, huge, huge thanks.
John
Awesome - so glad to hear that!
