Is it possible to show the full recent posts rather than excerpt on homepage in grid layout?

  • obviously you can.. you can have get_the_content() and can display full posts.. but i dont find any logic behind showing full posts in grid layout as it doesnt help your website speed SEO optimization and many other aspects that make a good decent website... – sagar Aug 07 '17 at 15:00
  • Great thank you, it worked for all posts page. But I am having requirement to show full 4 recent posts on homepage in grid layout. It will be on internal server so SEO will not be an issue so can you please suggests how can we achieve that? – Swati Aug 07 '17 at 15:47
  • To get that grid layout and get those recent posts in grid you can always use WP Query where you can have 'order'=>'DESC' parameter in query https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters – sagar Aug 08 '17 at 04:44

Use the_content() or echo get_the_content() instead the_excerpt() or echo get_the_excerpt() respectively . Thanks

You can always add your html into the below code 

<?php
    $args = array(
        'post_type'   =>'post',
        'posts_per_page' => 4,
        'order'           =>'DESC'
        );

     $the_query = new WP_Query($args);
     if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) :
        while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) :
            $the_query->the_post();
      ?>
      <div class="gridlayout">
      <?php the_content(); ?>
      </div>

    <?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); endif; ?>
