More Doesn’t Work?

Hmmm this is sort of embarrassing in a way. There I am, spouting do this and do that with more tags and they work for others and there are thank yous and so on and then….

well sod’s law isn’t it? It’s not working for me. I cannot fathom what the problem might be – I’m having several problems but this is down right pathetic!

I use three files: home.php, index.php and single.php – all three now have the_content('squeeze my teats for more') and it isn’t working.

I dunno what to say except, sorry and please spank gently.

Anyway any idea what might be the problem? Cheers in advance

I won’t go postal if someone did question it but this is what I’ve tried:

place more tag on its own line

add a line above and below the more tag

place the more tag between two lines on its own with space anove and below

try the_content(‘more’) for simple purposes. I think I might know what the problem is actually….ah

edit ok I can’t figure it out. Here are the two variations I used:

<?php the_content('stroke more udders...'); ?>
and
<?php the_content(__('(squeeze my teats for more...)')); ?>
