Excerpts

[beethoven]

Happy Easter for everybody

Is there a way to have a page with posts showing full posts, when the posts have a manual excerpt ? I ask that for a site where the same posts have to appear on two different pages with posts, one showing all posts, the other only some of them. The site is vitaliteyoga.fr and the two pages are https://vitaliteyoga.fr/actualites/ and https://vitaliteyoga.fr/videos/ .  The problème is showing only the text before the video on one page and the full post on the other one. I found no solution with pages with posts neither with weaver showslider

I am not sure I follow.

You either show full posts, or excerpts, these are two different and mutually exclusive things. The fact that a posts has manual excerpts does not influence the display of the post if it is displayed as FULL.

As for “two different pages with posts, one showing all posts, the other only some of them”

This is not an issue, you can create as many page with posts as you like, and each one can have different set of parameters as to how to display the posts (excerpts or full) and which posts to display (some with filters like categories or all).

“The problème is showing only the text before the video on one page and the full post on the other one”

So you need to clarify exactly what you mean here.

If you are saying that on one blog page / page with posts, you want some posts shown as excerpts using manual excerpts that show text and video, and on another blog page / page with posts you want the posts to be displayed in full, that is not an issue either.

In all cases, make sure wordpress is not set to display its default blog page (Settings > reading > Post pages showing nothing selected / -select-)

Sorry if my english is not so good. You say : “You either show full posts, or excerpts, these are two different and mutually exclusive things. The fact that a posts has manual excerpts does not influence the display of the post if it is displayed as FULL.”

In fact, it is not so on pages with posts (same in weaver showpost pages). On the page https://vitaliteyoga.fr/videos/  the page with posts IS set to display posts as FULL but it does NOT work when the post has a manual excerpt. As long as I remember, it was so with Weaver xtreme (even with Weaver II, I think). On my three sites, it works so but it did not disturb me until this situation where I want the same post with manual excerpt show as excerpt on one page and as full on an other page.
I hope, you follow better now. Merci d’avance

May be we are not speaking of the same thing about manual excerpts.

If you are speaking of the WordPress  <More–> tag, then you are right, that will force the excerpt of a post no matter what. This is by WordPress design as far as I know, no way around it.

But if you are speaking of true Manual Excerpts created using the Excerpt box in a post editing page, then it works as I said.

If you do not see the excerpt box in a post editing page, open screen options at the top and check it.

Also make sure you are not forcing excerpts by using the Xtreme Options for this page > Post/Blog Archive option TAB > Display post as excerpt

Thank you @scrambler, using the excerptbox instead of the <More>I used before is the solution, not so fast but it works fine.
