Replace "Featured Posts" in home by a simple text

Hello

In my blogsite's home http://www.francerepublique.net/WordPress/
I wan't to write an EDITO instead of "DERNIERS ARTICLES" (featured posts)

So I want to delete "DERNIERS ARTICLES" (at the bottom of the featured content gallery - the resumes and the little pictures) to an EDITO (like a simple widget text)

It's possible? What's the solution?

Thank you very much

François

Change the name of the category from Derniers Articles to Edito.

HTH,

I do that: http://www.francerepublique.net/WordPress/

but there's only a resume from my edito (only 2 lines) (Edito is a category)

I wan't an entire text (whether about 20 lines)

Here's this text to make in home: http://www.francerepublique.net/WordPress/?p=355

(Sorry for my english)

Thx a lot

François

I'm sorry. I don't understand. Changing the name of the category shouldn't have changed anything except the name. Everything else should still be the same. Did you do something else?

I make an image from photoshop to show you what I want (lol):
http://francerepublique.net/WordPres...Home-edito.jpg

So actually i've just a resume from my edito (because Edito is a simple article and resumed in the featured post from home >> in the "Allure theme options" I can't make a text in home instead of "featured posts")

What's the solution to make this text in my home?

Thx :wink:

There's no way to put a simple text in the home (like this picture http://francerepublique.net/WordPres...Home-edito.jpg) ??

Pleaaase help :roll:

Thank you

Look in the home.php theme file for a line with the the_content_limt() function on it and change it to the the_content() function. If you can't find the line, paste the contents of your home.php theme file in a reply and I'll find it for you.

HTH,

Francois, your site has such beautiful color and I love the vertical lines.

I did the same thing for one of my sites, but I did it differently by putting a higher number in the code i.e. the_content_limt(400) I wanted more text from each story to show but not all of it, however as Charles posted if you take that part off then it will be the whole post.

OK thx :wink:

But I can't find the line "the_content_limt() function" in my home.php

My home.php :

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="wrap">

<div id="content">

    <div id="homepage">
    
        <?php /*Check for the 'gallery_styles' function. if it's there, then include it. If not, do nothing*/ ?>

    </div>
            
    <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/sidebar.php");?>

</div>

<!-- The main column ends  -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I hope and wait your answer!!

And thank you Bodibuddie, I see that :wink:

My home.php :

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php the_content_limit(110, ""); ?>

It would be that line. Change it to this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php the_content(__('Read more')); ?>

HTH,

OK

Thank you so much Charles! :clap::clap::clap:

It works!!

Best regards

François
