   Hi,

   On my first page I have a sidebar that shows:
   - Post title
   - Date and Category
   - Post before the more tag

   After clicking on a post it shows my post on the right side and my sidebar on the left. I want the sidebar to look exactly the same as the sidebar on the front page. But now it doesn't show the text bofore the <!--more--> tag but further down till a tag that looks like this [...]

   Can anybody help?

   My code looks like:

   <h3 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h3><span class="txt0"><?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ''); ?> // <?php the_time('j F Y') ?> // <?php the_category(', ') ?></span>
   <?php the_excerpt() ?>
   </div>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php else : ?>
   <h3 class='center'>No posts found.</h3>
   <?php endif; ?>

   That's the expected functionality of the_excerpt(), which displays a teaser of the post and ignores the <!--more--> tag.

   What I think you want to use is the_content().

   Try changing this:
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

   To this:
   <?php the_content(); ?>

   See if that works.

   Hey i am using excerpt instead of content because i dont want to show the image thats in the post. But i would like a read more instead of [..].

   Is it possible to either edit the_content so that it doesn't display the image or edit the_excerpt so that there is a read more displayed?

   Thanks
