[Resolved] Using Child Theme with different blog layouts

[Heinrich]

Hi Tom!
Thanks for your great work!
I have GP PRO installed and additonally implemented a child theme of it.
I want to have the GP for the site and the child theme ONLY on one special category.
I solved this with the plugin multiple themeBUT how can I seperately change the blog layout options.
Generally I want to have the blog layout content type = “excerpt” and only wihtin this one special category for which I’m using the child theme I want to use the content type = “full”.

THX for your help!

Hey Martin,

You could try this function inside the child theme functions.php file:

add_filter( 'generate_show_excerpt', '__return_false' );

Let me know 🙂

Hi Tom!
Thx for your awsome quick answering!
It is working!

I additionally added the filter for only one special category:

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

Additional Question:
And how can I show the full post in the category view even if the user has insterted a “read more” tag?

Try this:

add_filter( 'generate_more_tag', '__return_empty_string' );

Hi Tom,
it’s not working!
Have a look https://schulungen.badhaering.at/category/toprint/
It’s german “weiterlesen” in the first post “full post test”

I gave the snippet in the functions.php as well as the others.

That’s strange, it should work. Maybe try this:

add_filter( 'generate_more_tag', '__return_false' );

[Heinrich]

Hi,
no it didn’t help!
As I mentioned – it is a <!–more–> tag in the content.
There is no cache plugin!

Hmm, both the functions should prevent the more tag from affecting the excerpts. I wonder if you have some conflicting code.. What happens if you temporarily remove your other functions and keep the one here?: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/using-child-theme-with-different-blog-layouts/#post-827020

Hi,
it’s so strange!
At the moment my functions.php:

function child_theme_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-theme-css', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/style.css' , array('parent-style'));

}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'child_theme_styles' );
add_filter( 'generate_more_tag', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'generate_show_excerpt', '__return_false' );

If I’m removing add_filter( ‘generate_show_excerpt’, ‘__return_false’ );` then the read more AND the rest of the content won’t be visible.
And the read more (from excerpt) will apear in the other posts again.

I additionally have installed the GP Premium PlugIn but it won’t help.

Ah, I misunderstood the question – sorry!

The more tag is dealt with by WordPress in the function that outputs the content. I just dug into some of the code and I couldn’t find a way to disable it using a filter, unfortunately.

[Heinrich]

okay, thank you for your troubles!

[Tom]

No problem! Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.
