More Tag on Static Page not Post

  • Can anyone help me to resolve my more tag problem. What I need is the link when clicked to revert to the full article simple really.
    See this page:

    https://www.jasperassociates.co.uk/jasper/index.php/about/

    As some of my pages are quite long I just want to use the more tag and when the user clicks on the link it over rides the more tag and shows the complete article.

    In my page.php and single.php templates i have placed the following code which seems to work (but the link is dead and goes nowhere).

    <?php global $more; $more = 0; ?>
    <?php the_content(‘Continue Reading.» » » »’); ?>

    I have also thought about functions.php if there is something I need to do here.

    Hi esmi,

    yes been onto this page but am a novice trying to work out why the link dosen’t work.

    Are you trying to use the more link in a single Page? If so, where do you think the link will lead – if not back to the Page again?

    Hmm, what I want to do is when you click on the link for it to over ride the more tag and show the full article “continue reading” rather than the excerpt. This could be on the same page or another page. I am not sure if this is possible, its just that some of my pages can be long and cluttered with content, useful content but not everyone needs to read it all. What I think your saying is the link just brings you back to the same page. Which is fine but I need iot to show the full article.

    That’s not how the more tag works.

    Hi jaspercat,

    I see from your site that you found the solution for More Tag on Static Page.

    Do you mind sharing?

    Thanks
