   Hello.

   I'm trying to get my posts to display the full content when "Continue reading" is clicked, but I cannot get it to work.

   This is what I have in single.php :
   

   <div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
   	<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
   <div class="entry-meta">
   	<?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?>
   </div>
   <div class="entry-content">
   	<?php the_content(); ?>
   	<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link">
   '. __( 'Pages:', 'twentyten' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
   </div>
   [...]
   </div>

   ...and this is loop.php :
   

   <div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"
            <?php post_class(); ?>>
   		<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php
   the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink
   to %s', 'twentyten' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>"
   rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
                   </h2>
       <div class="entry-meta">
   	<?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?>
       </div>
           <?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : ?>
       <div class="entry-summary">
   	<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
       </div>
   	<?php else : ?>
       <div class="entry-content">
   	<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span
   class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>
   	<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div
   class="page-link">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyten' ), 'after' =>
   '</div>' ) ); ?>
      </div>
   [...]
   </div>

   Here is the page in question.

   Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

   Here are some of the things that I've tried. I could use some help, if anybody...

   1. Attempt: Override the Archive behaviour, since I only want the content above the <!--more--> tag, using advice found here

   
<?php global $more;
$more = 0;
the_content("Read more...");?>


   Settings:

   loop.php:

   
<?php else : ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<h2 class="entry-title">" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'twentyten' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class="entry-meta">
<?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?>
</div>
<?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : ?>
<div class="entry-summary">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<?php else : ?>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyten' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>


   functions.php:
   
function twentyten_continue_reading_link() {
return ' ' . __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'twentyten' ) . '';
}
function twentyten_auto_excerpt_more( $more ) {
return ' …' . twentyten_continue_reading_link();
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'twentyten_auto_excerpt_more' );


   Result: Failed.
   On the Archives page I have the follwing:
   -all posts show up with excerpts, but with broken "Continue reading " links, which resolve to duplicate content.

   2. Attempt: Change Archive and Search to the_content as well, use <!--more--> tag to separate content and use global $more=0 to show the above content of the tag:

   
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>

<?php
global $more;
$more = 0;
the_content("Read more...");?>


   Settings: functions.php unchanged

   Result: Failed (miserably)
   -all posts shows as excerpts, but continue_reading_link is not resolving correctly. On "Continue Reading" click, I loose the sidebar, post title goes under the post etc. (breaks the template)

   3. Attempt: Modify the excerpt functions
   - I linked "Read more..." to the post like this in functions.php:
   
function twentyten_continue_reading_link($more) {
return ' ID) . '">' . ( 'Read more...') . '';}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'twentyten_continue_reading_link' );
function twentyten_auto_excerpt_more( $more ) {
return ' …';
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'twentyten_auto_excerpt_more' );


   loop.php stays unchanged.

   Result:Disappointing...
   -all posts as excerpts with "Continue Reading" links.
   -no post content on click after leaving Archive page.

   That's about all I could think of...

   Any help appreciated.

   Bob
