“More” Tag Screws Up Blog

  • Hi whenever I use the more tag it doesn’t work and on my blog this code appears

    ———–

    <div id=’extLink2143′>

    Read more… or Read more right here… »

    </div>
    <div id=’extText2143′ style=’display: none’>

    ———–

    And it makes my blog extremely wide. I am also using a hack that lets you “Read more” Without going to the full permalink page

  • Ian, we are going to need more of the what and where info – don’t think I have seen this issue here before. What hack, where did you put it, what are you using to override the core WP more display? Do you have a specific example for us to peruse?

    Hi this looks wierd to me and looks like it needs to be fixed but I don’t know what … this the code I use in the loop for the hack. I also included the category and inline trackbacks which comes before and after the comment hack respectively :

      
    Filed under <?php the_category(‘,’) ?>
    <?php include(ABSPATH . ‘wp-dropdown-comments.php’); ?>  <?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments »’, ‘1 Comment »’, ‘% Comments »’); ?>

    <?php inline_trackbacks(‘» <u>Trackbacks for this post</u>
    ‘, ”, ‘

    ‘) ; ?></div>

    This is the plugin I think https://www.scriptygoddess.com/archives/2004/05/20/show-hide-more-with-wordpress/

    The Scripty Goddess code is a hack vice plugin.

    Try this an actual plugin for the more function.

    Just load it and activate it.
    Then you can modify your Quicktags js (if needed) to reflect the changed code.

    Well, I am working on something else but dropped back by to see what had transpired here. I find myself sitting with furrowed brow. You describe a problem with using the more tag, but the code you posted is related to comments. Drop in a link to an example so I can get a clearer picture of what we are discussing and I will check back.

    Maybe scratch that. I didn’t have time to read all the way through but it looks like her plugin is a bit buggy for 1.5 and mentions a problem with the more tag…
