Show Full Text in Recent Post shortcode

[coracle]

Hi there,

I’m trying to show full content and use the <!--more--> tag for my recent posts. I’ve added the recent posts excerpts code in my child theme as per this thread: https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/recent-posts-show-excerpt/13934/2 and it shows the excerpts as expected. What changes do I need to make so that it shows the full content?

Thanks.

Hello @Coracle,

Thanks for writing in!

The excerpts were displayed using this line:

$excerpt = ( $show_excerpt ) ? '<div class="x-recent-posts-excerpt"><p style="color:initial;">' . preg_replace('/<a.*?more-link.*?<\/a>/', '', cs_get_excerpt_for_social() ) . '</p></div>' : '';

If you want to display the full content and not the excerpt, you will have to replace it:

$excerpt = ( $show_excerpt ) ? get_the_content() : '';
