   Hi, All
   Anyone out there know why when I add the More tag on this custom page that I made to display one particular category (Articles) it doesn't work?
   When I changed it to the_excerpt it showed just an excerpt, but no go with the More tag.
   Thanks in advance.

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: Articles
   */
   ?>
   
   <?php get_header(); ?>
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   <div id="content">
   
   <?php query_posts('category_name=Articles&showposts=10'); ?>
   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; update_post_caches($posts); ?>
   <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   
   <?php the_content('Continue Reading...'); ?>
   <div class="post-details"> <h3>Posted in <?php the_category(' and ',''); ?> on <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> at <?php the_time() ?> by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?>. </p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>#comments"><?php comments_number('Add a comment','1 comment','% comments'); ?></a></h3>
   </div>
   </div>
   <?php comments_template(); ?><?php endwhile; ?><?php else : ?><div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   <h2>Nothing to see here</h2>
   <p>You seemed to have found a mislinked file, page, or search query with zero results. If you feel that you've reached this page in error, double check the URL and or search string and try again.</p>
   <p>Alternatively, a more personalized method of tracking down and searching for content can be found <a href="#bottom_box">below</a>.</p>
   </div>
   <?php endif; ?>
   
   <div class="nextprevious">
   <div class="left"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
   <div class="right"><?php previous_posts_link('Recent Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
   </div>
   <div class="clear"></div>
   </div>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   Yah, I figured it out awhile ago. For some reason I had to use
   

   <?php
   global $more;
   $more = 0;
   ?>

   Dunno why, though, it's not the home (front) page.
   ?

   Hey geezerd--I'm having a similar problem. Where did you enter the code that you had to use?

   @geezerd that worked for me - thanks!

   @verticalhouse in case you haven't already played with it, I just put it above where I had my call for the posts loop.

   Dunno why custom templates needed it.

   Hey! Had the same problem but now I can't show the post's thumbnail!
   Anybody was able to solve this?

   Ah, solved!

   <?php
   global $more;
   $more = 0;
   ?>
   
   <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $id, $size, $attr ); ?> 
   
   <?php the_content('Read more...'); ?>

   On http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More
   Scroll down to: "How to use Read More in Pages" almost at the bottom.

   We're "turning on" the more tag for Pages.
