I wanted to display one full post plus excerpts on the front page, and was able to do so by adding:
<?php $i = 0; while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $i++; ?>
to the top of the index (instead of <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>)
But suddenly it stopped working. So I decided to have all the front page show as excerpts, so changed
<?php the_content(); ?> to <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
That worked. But then I changed my mind and put it back to "content." Now I still get only excerpts showing. Why won't WP recognize my edits? I tried closing the browser and re-opening it, but nothing. All I get are excerpts on the front page.
Help! Thanks!

Why doesn't the code
<?php $i = 0; while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $i++; ?>
work to truncate the remaining posts after the first post? -

Your front page is currently showing full posts.

Posted 2 years ago #Correct. I'd like it to show one full post and then excerpts for the rest. I think it was you, esmi, who suggested the line
<?php $i = 0; while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $i++; ?>
as a way of doing this. It worked for a while, but now it doesn't anymore. Did I change it in the course of editing other stuff? Do you have any clue why it doesn't work anymore?
Thanks -
Probably because you're missing the second part:
<?php $i = 0; while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $i++; ?> [ ...] <?php if($i == 1) the_content(); else the_excerpt();?>
