   In my blog http://www.drteddy.gr in the front page the template displays the excerpt of the post.

   I want to display the_content() of the post depending on the number of the words of the post. I've coded a function that counts the post's words, but I couldn't implement the part I describe above.

   Could anyone give me a clue or help?

   try This
   

   $max=40;
   if ($count> $max) {
   
   the_excerpt();
   }
   
   else {
   
   the_content();
   }

   It doesn't work....

   For some reason the if statement always returns the part of the code that included in "else" section....

   Giving some more tries...

   instead of $count use the returned value from that function (don't use echo in your function , but use return).

   possibly post the code of that function here - see forum guidelines for posting code.
