Wordpress First Post Full Rest Excerpt

Try replacing that code with something like this

 <div class="singlePost">
                    <?php 
$postCount = 0;
if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post('');
$postCount++;
?>
                   
                    	<div class="article">
                        	<div class="articleDetails">
                            	<div class="articleTitle">
                                     <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1></a>
                                </div><!--End articleTitle-->
                                <div class="articleMeta">

so basically outside "The Loop" we set the postCount to 0; Inside the loop for each iteration the postCount variable is incremented and that value is checked before displaying the post excerpt or content. If it is <= 1 then display the full post content, if it is > 1 then display the excerpt content.

Hello jrm213jrm213, thanks. I used it and it's almost perfect. Please see the attached image. As you can see, there are two images. I'd need only the big one.

Also, is it possible to remove the read more button only for the lastest post?

Regards.
JC.

I managed to delete the thumb image left side. Latest full post is OK but I'd like to have other post to show their big image

Is this possible?

Thanks.

jrm213jrm213, we're almost done thanks once again. Read more is gone, latest post big image is showing, I managed to remove the thumb, but for the rest of the posts is it possible to have and post image as the one that's currently as latest post?

I'm attaching a screen shot

I am unfamiliar with the function "catch_that_image" that is being called to retrieve the post image. I am guessing it comes from a plugin or is built into your custom theme.

Nothing in the code is excluding the "non-first" posts from having an image displayed so it must be something in that function. Could you post the code that you are currently using that you modified to not display the thumbnail?

If you have a featured image set for the page you can use the function the_post_thumbnail to display it

Thanks!

Is it possible that when you click page 2 the first post doesn't show full?
