    Hi guys!

    I am having problems with one of my sites ... the template was bought from TM and the problem I am having is that I can not get the read more link to show up. I am just using the simple <!--more--> tag but it doesnt work. The code in index.php goes like this:

    <?php get_header(); ?>
    
    	<?php get_sidebar(1); ?>
    
    		<?php if (is_home()) : ?>
    		<?php endif; ?>
    
    		<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
    			<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    				<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
    
    					<div class="indent">
    
    						<div class="title">
    
    							<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
    
    							<div class="date">
    								<?php the_time('l, F j, Y') ?> ob <?php the_time('H:i') ?>
    							</div>
    
    						</div>
    
    						<div class="text-box">
    							<?php the_content('Read on...'); ?> 
    
    						</div>
    
    						<div class="link-edit"><?php edit_post_link('Uredi objavo', ''); ?></div>	
    
    					</div>
    
    				</div>
    			<?php endwhile; ?>
    
    		<?php else : ?>
    			<h2 class="pagetitle">Not Found</h2>
    			<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
    			<?php get_search_form(); ?>
    		<?php endif; ?>
    
    <?php get_sidebar(2); ?><?php get_sidebar(3); ?>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Now what could be wrong since this code is the same in almost all templates. Do I maybe have to edit functions.php or something?

    for the more tag to work in your theme - change this
    <?php the_content('Read on...'); ?>
    to this
    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

    you can customize further if you want
