Read more not working on pages

    Hi there,

    I am having trouble getting only an excerpt of a page to display on the home page. I am using the following code to pull through the page data and title etc.

    <h2 class="entry-title">
<?php
$page_id = 2;
$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
$title = $page_data->post_title;
echo $page_data->post_title;
?>
</h2>
<?php
$page_id = 2;
$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
$content = $page_data->post_content;
echo $page_data->post_content;
?>

    The page that the information is being pulled from has a <!–more–> tag on it so that only a sentence is displayed on the home page. However, all of the information on the page is still being pulled through.

    Is this the right way to achieve this?

    Thanks in advance,

    Phillustration

    Hi esmi,

    Thanks for this link, I’m afraid I am still confused though.

    The Codex page says to add the code:

    <?php
global $more;
$more = 0;
?>

    Before the content tag:

    <?php the_content('Continue Reading'); ?>

    Forgive, but will this appear like this?

    <?php
global $more;
$more = 0;
?>
<?php
$page_id = 2;
$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
$title = $page_data->post_title;
echo $page_data->post_title;
?>
<?php
$page_id = 2;
$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
$content = $page_data->post_content;
echo $page_data->post_content;
?>
