I'm having a hard time figuring out how to set either the excerpt or the full content on my posts. I'm using post format, so far everything works, but when I click on a specific post, only the excerpt is displayed in the full post (because only the excerpt is set on format-video, for ex.).

I would like my post formats to display the excerpt when it's on loop.php (home page), and the full content when it's on single.php I am bad at php, but here is my code (which is obviously not working for a reason)

<?php if ( is_loop() ) { ?>
        <?php custom_excerpt('custom_index'); ?>    
    <?php } elseif ( is_single() ) : { ?>   
        <?php the_content(); ?>
    <?php } ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

Could anyone tell me where is the mistake in my code ? Or is there a better solution to perform what I'm trying to do ?

    is_loop() should be is_home(). Also, you are mixing syntax here, only use curlies to enclose your statements Nov 7, 2015 at 9:04

You can try this.

<?php 
      if ( is_single() )
              the_content();
      else
              custom_excerpt('custom_index'); 
    ?>

in your post loop.It prints content if the post is single.php page otherwise custom_excerpt() data.

  • That's indeed the easiest way, I complicated my code too much for nothing. Thank you
