   I'm wondering if there's any possible way to make the "more_link_text" in "the_content" appear under the actual content? (not right next to it)

   Here is my current code:
   <?php the_content('Read more..'); ?>
   Source:
   <a href="http://localhost/wordpress/20/lorem-ipsum-3/#more-20" class="more-link">Read more..</a></p>
   Screen:

   One of my attempts to make the "Read more.." appear under the content:
   (which makes the whole paragraph (empty space too) clickable)
   <?php the_content('<p>Read more..</p>'); ?>
   Source:
   

   <a href="http://localhost/wordpress/20/lorem-ipsum-3/#more-20" class="more-link">
   <p>Read more..</p>
   <p></a></p>

   I know that I can manually add the paragraph before the "more tag" in every post, but I'm wondering if there's another way to do it..

   I think this might be the same issue http://blog.niceperson.org/2005/09/05/the_content-more_link_text/

   Uhm.. Lol.. Kinda fixed it.. But used huge ammount of code.. Prolly lotsa unecessary code here.. Lotsa!

   Used:
   <?php echo get_the_content_awesome('Read more..'); ?>
   In template

   And added:
   

   <?php
   function get_the_content_2($more_link_text = null, $stripteaser = 0, $more_file = '') {
   	global $id, $post, $more, $page, $pages, $multipage, $preview, $pagenow;
   
   	if ( null === $more_link_text )
   		$more_link_text = __( '(more...)' );
   
   	$output = '';
   
   	// If post password required and it doesn't match the cookie.
   	if ( post_password_required($post) ) {
   		$output = get_the_password_form();
   		return $output;
   	}
   
   	if ( $more_file != '' )
   		$file = $more_file;
   	else
   		$file = $pagenow; //$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
   
   	if ( $page > count($pages) ) // if the requested page doesn't exist
   		$page = count($pages); // give them the highest numbered page that DOES exist
   
   	$content = $pages[$page-1];
   	if ( preg_match('/<!--more(.*?)?-->/', $content, $matches) ) {
   		$content = explode($matches[0], $content, 2);
   		if ( !empty($matches[1]) && !empty($more_link_text) )
   			$more_link_text = strip_tags(wp_kses_no_null(trim($matches[1])));
   	} else {
   		$content = array($content);
   	}
   	if ( (false !== strpos($post->post_content, '<!--noteaser-->') && ((!$multipage) || ($page==1))) )
   		$stripteaser = 1;
   	$teaser = $content[0];
   	if ( ($more) && ($stripteaser) )
   		$teaser = '';
   	$output .= $teaser;
   	if ( count($content) > 1 ) {
   		if ( $more ) {
   			$output .= '<span id="more-'.$id.'"></span>'.$content[1];
   		} else {
   			$output = balanceTags($output);
   			if ( ! empty($more_link_text) )
   				$output .= ' <a href="'. get_permalink() . "#more-$id\" class=\"more-link\">$more_link_text</a>
   ";
   		}
   
   	}
   	if ( $preview ) // preview fix for javascript bug with foreign languages
   		$output =	preg_replace_callback('/\%u([0-9A-F]{4})/', create_function('$match', 'return "&#" . base_convert($match[1], 16, 10) . ";";'), $output);
   
   	return $output;
   }
   
   	function get_the_content_awesome($more_link_text = '(more...)', $stripteaser = 0, $more_file = '') {
   	$content = get_the_content_2($more_link_text, $stripteaser, $more_file);
   	$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
   	$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
   	return $content;
   }
   ?>

   To functions.php

   The only thing I really did was to copy the "get_the_content" and the "the_content" function, renamed them and made one small adjustment.

   I changed the original:
   $output .= ' <a href="'. get_permalink() . "#more-$id\" class=\"more-link\">$more_link_text</a>";

   To the slightly modified:
   $output .= ' <p><a href="'. get_permalink() . "#more-$id\" class=\"more-link\">$more_link_text</a></p>";
   (just added the <p>'s)

   There's prolly a 100 times shorter way to do this.. I would appreciate if someone could show me how.. :p

   Why not use a style instead? Edit the style.css file for your theme:

   .more-link {
   display:block;
   }
