Add the following function to ‘functions.php’ in your theme:
function force_more() {
global $more;
$more = 0;
}
In your sidebar.php, begin your loop as follows:
<?php
force_more();
query_posts(‘category_name=mycategory&showposts=5’);
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
?>
all done.
Can someone walk me through exactly how to do this? I get weird error messages when I try to make this change to my functions.php file. I haven’t made it far enough to place the force_more code in my page template, since I can’t get past the first hurdle.
I have a static page that displays posts, but I want to be able to use the MORE tag in my longer posts and I think that the above code will help, if I can figure out how to place it correctly.
Thanks,
Josh
