alchymyth I tried using the example code and find that ‘THE STICKY TEST’ returns at the beginning of all posts, not just the sticky one. I’m not quite sure what to make of this. I am now wondering in hindsight if I should have posted this thread in the support for Category Sticky Posts plugin. I know it is making the posts I designate as sticky stay put, but is it possible that they aren’t registering as “normal” sticky posts and that something else needs to be done to make my quest for full text possible?

The “sticky” post has been the only one in that category for the last few weeks. I just put a few dummy posts back in the category, all of which are showing as excerpts.

I am not sure if this makes a difference or not, but to create my custom category pages I had to use the theme’s archive.php as a basis. I don’t think it’s being read as an archive because the stickies do stick—they just don’t respond to this code.

Hmm, I have translated that to this

<?php if ( is_sticky() ) {
    the_content();
} else {
    the_excerpt();
} ?>

to keep the sticky condition in the mix but it doesn’t work. I don’t quite understand.

To be more clear about my objective, the first post in each of the categories is sticky and intended to show the full text. All of the following posts are intended to display only the excerpts. Thank you

Here are pastebin links…

The file I need to use:
</script>”><script src=”http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=7BXNMskJ”></script&gt;

and the one with the ngg search code (this time complete in case I missed anything before):
</script>”><script src=”http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=LxkWRTtz”></script&gt;

Oh well. Thanks for answering

As a matter of fact, most of my pages had comments showing in spite of the check boxes being set so they were turned off from the very beginning. These were quite resistant to being turned off in fact. The comment I would like to transplant is from one of those pages. Now the comment wouldn’t show even if I were to approve it because the page no longer has a place for it!

As far as my single blog post goes, all of the check boxes are set to show comments. I am using a child theme of Shell Lite. The author of the theme is as baffled as I am, thus the suspicion that it is some sort of issue with the core.

I have also gone through the process of disabling &/or deleting each of the plugins, none of which made any difference.

I found a solution! Problem resolved 🙂

Thanks
