Adding the “Read More” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I am having trouble getting my “read more” tag to work. I write a short post to my home page and at the end of short exerpt, I click on the more link. I want to post it to my home page and have the rest of it on another page. Well, needless to say, it does not work. It comes out something like this:
    —————————————————————<more>

    I read the Codex and The Loop. I found it hard to follow so I usually get great support on this forum. Any help would be tremendous!!

  • Read more is not working in 2.5.1.
    Dunno of they have fixed it for 2.6

    This is the code I use:

    <?php the_content_rss('Read more','', '', 30); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read More</a>

    Hmm It was working fine on my 2.5 installation of wordpress, but after upgrading I get a similar problem.

    All posts are cut after a certain length and [..] added to the end of the line.

    Whis would not be a problem if the [..] was linked to the post, and I could set the length before the cutoff ( without hacking hte PHP that is ??

    Editing the l10N.php file and changing 

    if (empty($locale))
		$locale = ''; /* Changed from $locale = 'en_US'; */

    seems to fix the problem on in the mail blog view.

    I no see the full blog post except where I chose to split it.

    But if I list my posts using the tag links I still have a problem.

    Posts that I have deliberately cut will cut at that point but no “Read more” link is added.

    Other posts are still cut with [..] at the end.

    I see that that the ordenary posts use
    <?php the_content(''.__('Read More <span class="meta-nav">&raquo;</span>', 'sandbox').''); ?>
    and the tags, and presumably the categories use
    <?php the_excerpt(''.__('Read More <span class="meta-nav">&raquo;</span>', 'sandbox').'') ?>

    Anyone able to explain why ? and why the rendering is different ?

    I’m, not sure if this has changed from 2.5 to 2.6 since I cannot remember having seen it.

    So what should I do? I am a little bit confused with what is going on. I am sort of new to wordpress and I would need some instruction on how to fix it.

    Thanks for the help so far!!!

    We’ll me to ??

    I’ve just typed up what I’ve found so far hoping somone might have a better sollution.
    But I’ll have another look around and see if I can figure out how things work.
