   I have inserted the more link on my home page (set as a page, not posts), adding the ¢more declaration before the loop and it is displaying perfectly but when I click on the link it just reloads the same page and the not the extended information....

   Can anyone help?

   The more tag doesn't work in Pages without some custom editing.

   I did say that I have edited the page and added the global $more after the loop and I get the 'read more' link to show up. When I click on it all I get is the page reloaded.

   What I need to do is find out how to make the 'read more' text actually link to the longer text?

   I am sorry if this wasn't clear,

   Did you also reset the $more variable?

   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <?php global $more;
   				$more = 0;
   		?>
       <li>
           <?php if (is_page() || is_single()) { ?>
           <h2 class="post-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
           <?php } else { ?>
           <h2 class="post-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
           <?php } ?>
                   <?php if((!is_page() or $options['metaenabled']) or $options['txtsizechange']) { ?>
           <div class="post-meta">
               <?php if(!is_page() or $options['metaenabled']) { ?>
               <div class="meta-left">
                   <p class="postdate"><?php the_time(__('M jS Y')) ?></p>
                   <p class="postauthor"><?php _e('By:');?> <?php the_author(); ?></p>
               </div>

   and further down.......

   `<?php if((!is_single() and !is_archive() and !is_search() and $options['excerptfront']) or (is_archive() and $options['excerptarchives']) or (is_search() and $options['excerptsearch'])) { ?>
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   <?php } else { ?>
   <?php the_content('<span class="readmore">Read More</span>'); ?>
   <?php } ?>

   </div>`

   I hope this helps......

   Thank you,

   SM

   Try moving $more = 0; down to just before the_content()

   also:

   <?php if((!is_single() and !is_archive() and !is_search() and $options['excerptfront']) or (is_archive() and $options['excerptarchives']) or (is_search() and $options['excerptsearch'])) { ?>

   might be better written as:

   <?php if((!is_single() && !is_archive() && !is_search() && $options['excerptfront']) || ( (is_archive() && $options['excerptarchives']) ) || ) (is_search() && $options['excerptsearch']))) { ?>

   That still doesn't work - the page just reloads with the url /saldiving/#more-306.

   Thank you for the tips re the coding.....

   Any more ideas?
