   I have read thru documentation on using Read more >>> so that articles on front page of a site only show exerpts and not the entire article. I found a reference to a plugin called the exerpt reloaded, found here http://guff.szub.net/the-excerpt-reloaded but I am having trouble with a particular theme in getting it to work. The theme I am using is the Daisy Rae Gemini theme, and I've already tried contacting the author of the theme but we were both stumped at trying to get this to work.

   Here is my code for the index.php page:

   <?php

   include_once('gravatar.php');

   get_header();
   ?>

   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   <div class="post">
   <h3 class="storytitle" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
   <div class="meta"><?php _e("Filed under:"); ?> <?php the_category(',') ?> — <?php the_author() ?> at <?php the_time('g:i a') ?> on <?php the_time('l, F j, Y') ?> <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit This')); ?></div>

   <div class="storycontent">
   <?php the_excerpt_reloaded(50, '', 'none', TRUE, 'Keep reading >>', FALSE, 2); ?>
   </div>

   <div class="feedback">
   <?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
   <?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>
   </div>

   <!--
   <?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
   -->

   </div>

   <?php comments_template(); ?>

   <?php endwhile; else: ?>
   <?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   <?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('« Previous Page'), __('Next Page »')); ?>

   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   What happens is that the read more link will work fine on the first page, but when I actually click on the read more, it does not show the rest of the article

   Here is a sample of the problem:

   If you click on where it says keep reading, the next page does not bring up the full article. Did I put the exerpt code in the wrong place and if so, where would it go in this template? I have already had to switch templates once because I couldn't get some functions to work so I am really hoping I can get this one to work with the exerpts. Appreciate any assistance that the forum members could provide with my newbie effort.

   I took a look and Daisy Rae Gemini doesn't sport a single.php, so it reuses index.php for single post pages. That's the problem here. To work around it, change your storycontent div element to this:

   <div class="storycontent">
<?php if( is_single() ) : ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php the_excerpt_reloaded(50, '', 'none', TRUE, 'Keep reading >>', FALSE, 2); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>

   Hi, that's terrific, it works like a charm now. I would never have been able to figure this out on my own. Thanks again for the very fast response and for helping me out with this:-)
