   Hi everyone, I am using a custom page template to show a page as my home page and I'm using a bit of code to show the latest post in a custom sidebar.

   How do I get this code to stop where I have defined it to do so with the <!--more--> tag?

   At the moment it shows the whole post, but I'd like it to stop after the more tag if possible.

   heres what I have now:

   <h3>Latest free recipe</h3>
   <?php $temp_query = $wp_query; ?>
   <?php query_posts('category_name=recipes&amp;showposts=1'); ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
   <?php the_content('click for recipe', FALSE, ''); ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   I wonder if this bit would help? (from the_content documentation):

   Thank you Chris K, I wasn't being lazy - just sometimes don't know where to start looking!

   Oh no doubt!

   And I don't know what I offered is the solution either. But it seemed worth a shot...
