[Resolved] Show the excerpt for every categories but one

[Suresh]

Hi,

I am trying to add a filter (as suggested on this post: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/full-length-posts-for-1-category-else-excerpt-only/).

I am using the following code within the “Code snippet” plugin as php:

add_filter( 'generate_show_excerpt','tu_full_post_photos' );
function tu_full_post_photos( $show_excerpt ) {
    if ( is_category( 'Deals' ) ) {
		return false;
	}
	return $show_excerpt;
}

I am not sure why is not working, am I doing anything wrong?

Hi there,

Can you link me to the deals category page?

The page you’ve linked is just the default posts page.

[Suresh]

I haven’t any page dedicated for just the deals category. I have added the link to the first post with one of the post that has category = deals.

[Leo]

Little confused.

The page you link now is a single post?

[Suresh]

Sorry Leo, I think I’m making you crazy tonight 😀

So basically I have two types of post categories, Deals and Guide. When I go to the default post page, I would like to have the “Deals” posts to show in full, but the “Guide” posts to show only the excerpts.

Does it make sense?

Hmm can you try if in_category works?

Thank you Leo, the in_category is working good!

No problem 🙂
