Non-Excerpted Sticky Post?

I have a WP CE4 theme set up to display Blog Home w/Sticky Post.

Currently, the sticky post is excerpted. Is there a way to have it display the entire post, but keep all other posts excerpted?

Re: Non-Excerpted Sticky Post?

You'd have to edit the files to achieve that. Without digging into the code, I'm not entirely sure where that would be. Probably in either the index.php or loop.php files. You could run a search over the files for the terms "sticky" or "the_excerpt" to find the relevant chunk.

Found it!

In loop.php, I changed:

<?php // the Content or the Excerpt? 
if ( 
	(is_home() && of_get_option('post_excerpts')) || 
	is_archive() || is_search() 
){ // post excerpt: ?> 

to

<?php // the Content or the Excerpt? 
if ( 
	(is_home() && of_get_option('post_excerpts') && !is_sticky() ) || 
	is_archive() || is_search() 
){ // post excerpt: ?>

Now, the sticky post(s) are expanded and all other posts are excerpted.

Thanks for the info on which files to look at Matt!
