I can't figure out how to make the excerpt/teaser option for our blog posts work. I tried putting the comment <!--more--> after the text of the post that I only want displayed on the blog in the HTML code but it didn't work out. How should I do this?

It's intended to go directly in the post while you are writing.
I believe there are some plugins that will also handle the duty as well. -
Posted 6 years ago #Not the index.php template. I mean the html code of the post. But I also did the same thing in the post but got the same result. Would you know of any plugin I can use?

blah blah blah
<!--more-->
Blah Blah...

Posted 6 years ago #There are a number of plugins that automatically create the teaser. My Evermore WordPress plugin is one; that page also lists a lot of other plugins that do similar things. If you use one of these plugins then you may never need to manually add
<!--more-->to your posts.
