You don’t need any plugin for that. That is a theme design/coding issue.
And there have been posts in the forum describing how to do that.
you might get lucky by searching for “featured post” too.
Basically, you edit your index.php. the simplest would be to add a counter and display the first post differently.
Basically your loop goes like this:
<?php
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<p><?php the_content(); ?></p>
<?php endwhile; ?><?php endif; ?>
Change it to
<?php
$postnum = 1;
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
if ($postnum==1) { ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<p><?php the_content(); ?></p>
<?php } else { ?>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php } ?>
<?php $postnum++; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?><?php endif; ?>
Display content only on first post, show the rest of the posts only in headline 2 with link.
It seems not to work. When I place the code above in the index.php file nothing is changed at my homepage but my full-post page doesn’t work anymore. So I thought it was code to place the code in the home.php file, but then my homepage doesn’t work anymore. Can someone help me?
