    Wondering if it’s possible to use the full post with a word/character limit vs the excerpt content. (possibly a feature request)
    I have a situation where I’d like to preserve the post format (style, paragraph breaks). Currently experimenting with the Carousel text only layout.

    Similar controls that a featured post widget (such as genesis) have.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi there,

    Have you looked into using the More Tag? It does require manual insertion, though.

    There is a filter, but you’d need to add some conditional checks to make sure it only applies on specific pages: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10173268/2391422

    That looks interesting (maybe a little out of mine coding ability) but I’ll take a swing.

    So ideally I would need to target one instance of wp show posts on the home page. Current layout has two.

    Would that mean I’m trying to perform a check/filter on the wpsp output? Can this be done by id like css mods?

    Thanks again, appreciate the input

    Ah, there’s no way to target a specific list with the_content filter – it applies to all the_content() functions on the page.

    If there was only one, then it would work with a is_page() condition (so it doesn’t apply to the entire site).

    If there are multiple, you might be stuck with the More Tag option.
