Add Avatar to MOCHA Home Featured Post Only

[Kelli]

I've used  @braddalton 's wonderful code to add my avatar before the post title on single posts. I'm using Mocha and I'd like the avatar to show on the home page posts also but only on the 1st featured post---not on the following 6 excerpts on the home page.

There must be a specific conditional to code it this way, but I can't figure it out. Can you Brad or anyone else figure out what that conditional would be?

I've tried  if (is_single() || is_home() ) {  but it puts the avatar on the featured post and the 6 excerpts, but I would like the avatar on the 1st post (featured post) on the home page only.

Help?

Hi Kelli

Will that specific post change when you publish more posts? Or do you want it to stay on one specific post?

Try this:

if (is_sticky( '007' )  ) {

Or

if (is_sticky( '007' ) && is_home() ) {

Or

 if (is_single('007') || is_home() ) { 

Returns true if "Stick this post to the front page" check box has been checked for the current post.

Change the 007 to the i.d of the post which you can grab from the source code or by hovering over the edit or delete button for that post.

Hi Brad, the post changes... it is always the most recent post published. Do you think there's a way in Mocha to identify it for this purpose?

[Brad Dalton]

You'll need a query for that. I don't think there's a conditional tag for the most recent post.

Once you have the query, you can then put it into a custom function with the code you have already.

I'll see if I can get you the query.

Could you please paste the code you used for your home page here thanks.

I'd like to test it with the query and make sure it works before posting the entire snippet.

Here's the solution I tested which works:

Code not displaying? Grab it from Github.

Credit to s_ha_dum WordPress.stackexchange.com for the query.

That works perfectly! Thank you, Brad.

Glad I found the idea on your site and happy to know you're helping here at StudioPress, too!

No worries Kelli.

Didn't get your private message. Not sure why.
