I am building a custom theme from scratch and come across a slight problem that I need some help with.
So I have on my front-page a list of the 3 latest blog posts showing the 'title', 'Excerpt' & a 'more...' link which both the title and more link take you to single.php.
I am generating the post content in a file named 'content-post.php' which is the following:
<div class="clearfix">
<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post_id, $size, $attr ); ?>
<header class="title">
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
</header>
<ul class="info">
<li><?php the_category(', '); ?> | <?php the_time('F Y'); ?></li>
<!--<li>Written By: <a href="<?php bloginfo('siteurl') ?>/about/"><?php the_author(); ?></li>-->
</ul>
<div class="excerpt">
<p><?php if(is_single()): ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
<?php else: ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<a class="post-link" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">More...</a></p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
This builds the posts out to front-page.php just fine. I am having the problem when you go into the blog page which is using the same post content and the layout is the same. Is there a way I can specify how it shows on the front-page and how it appears on the blog page?
The post is being displayed on front-page.php like this:
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'post' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
And on the blog page like this:
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'post' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p>There are no posts to display or pages here</p>
<?php endif; ?>
