“See more” links are not showing

It appears that the “More” block has been deprecated in Twenty Twenty-Four, and replaced by the “Read More” block.

See this: https://app.screencast.com/vprsHz7CLESo5

And this: https://app.screencast.com/cfxk50hGbTbE8

Check your posts to ascertain which block is currently present in each post.

Thank you for your answer.

I tried your suggested changes, however it didn’t give the expected results.

1. It created a visible “Read more” link in my article, linking to the same page
2. On my home page, a lot more text was shown for this article instead of just the introduction

To determine the problem, you might create a test post and try different combinations of the associated blocks.

I ran into your issue when I first transitioned my test website to Twenty Twenty-Four (from Twenty Twenty-Three), and hence my initial response (above) fixed the issue on that website.

in my case it is a brand new website, the default theme was Twenty Twenty-Four.

I will experiment further tomorrow. Thank you!

I finally found the solution.

I was using the “List of posts, 1 column” composition.

When you add it, there is a text “Add “read more” link text” after each post. All this time I thought it was just a way of telling me that the query loop is adding the “read more” link here. Turns out it is actually instructing me to add the “read more” link.

I did that and now it’s working properly.

I have no idea why this “read more” link is not included in the composition in the first place.

Hi! Happy to hear you figured it out ??

For what it’s worth, the Add “read more” text line is actually a placeholder — when you click on it (or any part of the excerpt), you can start typing whatever text you would like to have displayed there. Here’s a screencast to illustrate it: https://cloudup.com/iTtshZzb6eQ

(I’m not quite sure why it’s not set to something like “Read more” by default.)

Thank you Bernie! I deleted the read more link I added and typed the text I wanted in the placeholder.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been tired for the past few days but it was not obvious to me that it was a placeholder ??

You’re welcome! And I agree, it’s not exactly obvious that the test is a placeholder.

Hi, I can’t seem to click on the “Read more” link from the Site Editor page. It works if I am creating a custom page or new page, but not when I am just in “Blog Home”.

Could anyone point me in the right direction please?
