What i have to do to obtaining the excerpt of a specific post using

PHP Code:

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

?

Thanks

Yes.

From the wp codex:

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

Description
Displays the excerpt of the current post with [...] at the end, which is not a "read more" link. If you do not provide an explicit excerpt to a post (in the post editor's optional excerpt field), it will display an automatic excerpt which refers to the first 55 words of the post's content. Also in the latter case, HTML tags and graphics are stripped from the excerpt's content. This tag must be within The Loop.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_...ce/the_excerpt

to get an excerpt of a particular post, you have to know the ID of the post and if you want to use the_excerpt(), then you have to do a wp_query to get that post from the database.

If you are going to get into this type of thing, then you should start reading the documentation at wordpress.org and/or pickup a book on wordpress so you can learn how to write your own plugin

Hi JD,
thanks for the suggestions, but i do not need to write a new plugin anymor, i would like only to make faster thant and copy and paste my Front Page.
Anyway i will tke care about your suggestion and i make some test in the nest few days

Hi JD,
at the end i solved using <?php get_post(); ?> function:

<?php
$my_id = 239;
$post_id_239 = get_post($my_id);
echo $post_id_239->post_excerpt;
?>

Cheers
