To make only the first post on homepage show the full content you can first create a child theme (http://themify.me/docs/child-themes) and copy includes/loop.php file to <child-theme>/includes/loop.php and open it up, now find:
<?php if ( is_single() ) : ?>
And replace it with:
<?php global $themify_post_shown; if ( is_single() || ( is_home() && false == $themify_post_shown ) ) : $themify_post_shown = true; ?>
Hope this helps 😉
Totally worked for me. Thank you 🙂
What I’d love to do is change the size/style of the featured image for the excerpt style posts — any tips on doing that? For the first post and for single posts, I have the featured image set to be large (100%) and then for the excerpts, I’d like to have them displayed smaller (like medium sized).
The theme uses the “Medium” image size (configurable in Settings > Media from the admin menu) for the index pages. Can you please provide your website’s URL address? This would help better understand what you mean.
I’d send you the site, but it’s not live yet — I have an under construction mask up.
I’ve pasted the code from loop.php which might help.
The style I’m trying to emulate in terms of output is picklesnhoney.com.
Thanks!

Sorry for the late response.
To achieve the same grid style first add this bit to your child theme’s style.css file:
#loops-wrapper > .post {
width: 48%;
float: left;
margin-left: 2%;
}
#loops-wrapper > .post:nth-child(2n+2) {
margin-left: 0;
clear: left;
}
#loops-wrapper > .post:first-child {
float: none;
width: auto;
margin-left: 0;
}
The images resize automatically to fit inside the available space.
This worked!!! 🙂 You’re the best. Thank you so much, shazdah!
