   Hi, I have been looking around for a while but can't find a solution.

   I use the "read more" on all my post to only show a teaser text on my home page. The problem is that teaser text is also displayed on the full post content.
   I want to hide the teaser text from the full post content, so that the post will actually start at the part "below" the read more tag.

   Is there a plugin that does that?

   Thanks!

   Can you use the excerpt instead?

   No I want to keep my excerpts for the search engine display text only, and also keep it pretty short, so I don't want to use it as my post teaser text.

   Ok, how about this then:

   Thanks for the link alism, but I tried that solution and it breaks the content layout :(
   I'm surprised there isn't a plugin for wordpress which allows you to either write custom teaser text that don't appear in the full post or just hide part of a text in the full post only!

   If I wanted to use the excerpt, how would I do it? Do I need a plugin?

   Thanks for your help!

   Sorry for waking up this old thread.

   Cheers, ronronmx...
   Now we have a working solution using very simple shortcode.

   add_shortcode('noteaser', 'shortcode_noteaser');
   
   function shortcode_noteaser($atts, $content = null)
   {
   	if (is_single()) return '';
   	else return do_shortcode($content);
   }

   Then in your post
   

   [noteaser]
   <p>Noticer mess-age</p>
   [message text="you can run another shortcode inside noteaser shortcode"]
   [/noteaser]
   <!--more-->

   It might help little for quick fix.*

   *note:
   Dunno if shortcode is an elegant solution (politically correct).
   I'm new in wordpress, and still confused about excerpt.

   @epsi:

   even easier:
   the solution is in the codex - probably the most unread document in wordpress (lol)
