Hello!

• http://www.sandersequality.com
• WP version is 4.5.2
• X version 4.5.2
• Cornerstone 1.2.4
• already have a child theme installed

I don’t want the entries to be shortened when blog entries are displayed in search results OR when viewing entries with a particular tag or category—I want it to display the full entry text, I never want the entries to be shortened into an excerpt. Any idea where I can configure that?

Doing some reading up on my own, it sounds like I need to change the_excerpt() to the_content() in archive.php & search.php, but I tried finding those files in the X theme folder, but no luck. Those files ARE in the bundled theme folders—Twenty Fourteen, for instance—but not in the X folder.

Along similar lines, I want all entries to display chronologically (earliest to latest) instead of the default, which is reverse chronologically (latest to earliest). I found a work-around by adding ?order=asc to the end of the URLs, but since it’s a behavior I want to enable globally, I was hoping there’s someplace in the code where I could define that. I’ve got over 500 different tags I use for entries, & it’d be a complete pain in the ass to modify all those URLs.

Any clues?

Hi,

To show full post in archive and search pages, create file _content.php in wp-content/themes/x-child/framework/views/global and copy the code below into that file.

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/GLOBAL/_CONTENT.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Display of the_excerpt() or the_content() for various entries.
// =============================================================================

$stack                     = x_get_stack();
$is_full_post_content_blog = is_home() && x_get_option( 'x_blog_enable_full_post_content' ) == '1';

?>

<?php

if ( is_singular() || is_search() || is_archive() || $is_full_post_content_blog ) :
  x_get_view( 'global', '_content', 'the-content' );
  if ( $stack == 'renew' ) :
    x_get_view( 'renew', '_content', 'post-footer' );
  endif;
else :
  x_get_view( 'global', '_content', 'the-excerpt' );
endif;

?>

Hope that helps.

I did as instructed & that didn’t do the trick, even after clearing all caches: http://sandersequality.com/category/clinton-email-server/timeline-long/

&, any ideas on the displaying entries chronologically bit?

Hi There,

Would you mind sharing us your admin credentials so we could check your setup closer.

Don’t forget to set it as private reply.

Thanks.

Hi There,

Would you mind also giving us FTP credentials on a private reply? We also need to check you child theme.
Thanks.

Hi There,

You named the file as file_content.php, please rename that to _content.php and clear your site caching plugins.

Thanks.

great! that worked! 😀 😀 😀 you folks are the best!

is there any hope with regards to changing the order in which the entries are displayed? to display them chronologically instead of the default reverse chronological order?

Hi there,

That will need further development that would be getting into custom development, which is outside the scope of support we can offer. If you need more in depth changes, you may wish to consult with a developer. X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities. Thanks for understanding.
