more-tag not working on custom page

  • Hi there!

    I guess this is an old topic but i just can′t find a solution for this problem.
    I want to force the more tag to work on a custom page and already found this workaround: global $more; $more = 0;
    It shows the more link but nothing happens when i click on it?
    The URL changes: “#more-11” is being added.

    This is all the code i′m using for this custom site:

    <div id="content">
	<?php if ( have_posts() )  while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>
	<!-- <?php global $more; $more = FALSE; ?> -->
	<?php if (function_exists('has_post_thumbnail') && has_post_thumbnail()) {the_post_thumbnail();} ?>
	<div id="content-text">
		<?php force_more(); the_content(__('mehr lesen'));?>
	</div>
	<?php $more = TRUE; ?>
	<?php endwhile; ?>
</div><!-- end of #content -->

<?php function force_more() {
	global $more;
	$more = 0;
}?>

    Am i missing something? Sorry if my english is a bit weird ??

  • I think you need to declare the global and set the value in the code where you call the_content(), not inside a function.

    Thx for the reply vtxyzzy !

    I tried it that way as well:

    <div id="content">
	<?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
	<?php
		global $more;
		$more = 0;
	?>

	<?php if (function_exists('has_post_thumbnail') && has_post_thumbnail()) {the_post_thumbnail();} ?>
	<div id="content-text">
		<?php the_content('mehr lesen'); ?>
	</div>

	<?php $more = TRUE; ?>
	<?php endwhile; ?>
</div><!-- end of #content -->

    but it doesn′t work either.

    Maybe i′m doing something wrong in the RTE? I′m using the more-tag this way:
    Text
    <!–more–>
    Text

    on custom page

    is that page using a page template?

    It shows the more link but nothing happens when i click on it?

    if the link uses the same template, then nothing can happen.

    this method only works if you want to show a page excerpt on one page which then links to a different page for the full page content.

    can you post a link to the custom page to illustrate the output of the more-link etc?
