   Is there a way to show a difference between a short post and an excerpt of a long post?
   So that the subscribers will not when they need to click the permalink in order to read the full post, and when this is unnecessary.

   @yonat,

   If the plugin needs to make an excerpt of your post it adds '[...]' at the end of the text to indicate that it has been truncated.

   Thanks, but the problem is that the "…" does not appear when there is a <!--more--> tag in the post. I would like to show "…" or something similar when there is more to read.

   @yonat,

   You could only make this happen if you are using the HTML more tag by editing the code - are you comfortable making code changes? If so then look in the publish function for the area where the more tag is checked.

   You'll see these two lines:
   

   $excerpt = strip_tags($excerpt);
   $excerpt = trim($excerpt);

   Add this immediately after those two lines:
   $excerpt = $excerpt . "[...]";

   If you are not happy editing code you'll have to find another way to write your blog posts without using the more tag.
