`replace
<?php the_content('More...'>
with
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
Sadly doesn’t help, still showing the full text of the post, just only wrap with one paragraph:
<h3>Próba bejegyzés</h3>
<p>Szöveg Még szöveg</p>
Have you defined a manual excerpt or placed the more tag in your posts?
Yes, now i defened the excerpt, its working, but not a great solution, i just want the more.. link to my post. I set the excerpt to 20 word, but sometimes my post headline is more than 20 word, so its not a great solution for me:(
I didn’t placed the more tag in my posts
instead of:
<?php the_content('More...'>
try this:
<?php the_content('More...')>
Yeah setting a word limit isn’t really ideal.
If you don’t want to define a manual excerpt or have a fixed length excerpt the only solution I know of is the more tag:
see http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/
Basically wherever you put the more tag in each post is where the post will be displayed up until.
Mauseherz: Not working too, i think i just copied the code wrong in here.
Richard Lyon: I use the more-tag, and the problem is, its not working:)
I put this tag every post that i have, but its still display the full text of the post.
<h3>Próba bejegyzés</h3>
<p>Szöveg</p>
<p><span id="more-29"></span></p> --> this is the more tag, but its not a link, and the content after is still displaying
<p>Még szöveg</p>
When using the more tag are you using <?php the_content('More...'); ?>
As I don’t think it works with the_excerpt();
Besides that I am not sure what the problem could be.
Yes, i am using the_content, without any luck
<?php the_content('More...'); ?>
sry, of course this would be the right code… (i forgot the ; and the ?) thx richard
I’m having the same or similar problem, although in my case I do have correct syntax. The code:
$events = get_posts( "posts_per_page=2&orderby=date&order=DESC&post_type=post&category_name=" . $category_name);
if ( count( $events ) != 0 )
{
$post = $events[ 0 ];
setup_postdata( $post );
$category_link = get_category_link( get_cat_id( $category_name ) );
the_content( "Continue reading ..." );
?><a href="<?php echo $category_link; ?>" title="Link to <?php echo $category_name; ?>"><em><?php echo $category_caption; ?></em></a><?php
}
When I call the_content() I expected the post content to be cut-off at the more section and have a “Continue reading …” link. However, I get the full post, like everything. Is there something I’m doing wrong?
This code is written in a widget’s widget() function.
I seem to have fixed the problem by doing the following:
global $more;
$more = 0;
the_content( "Continue reading ..." );
I am also having trouble with a “Read More” button and link on my http://www.backstreetprintin.info/wordpress site. I am new to WordPress and have never posted in WordPress support before. I am trying to change a category title from “Tech” to “Upcoming Events” but now the “Read More” button link doesn’t go anywhere.
