    Hi Everyone!

    The theme im using has read more button. I have to insert <!–more–> tag manually if i want to get display in the correct place in the post/article.

    I would like to have auto read more function after a paragraph or character limit.

    Any help, please?

  • You can edit your theme. In the index.php replace the_content with the_excerpt. This is not a too fancy option, but perhaps your theme handles it well. Alternally you can use a plugin. There are plenty of excerpt plugins. I’m a happy user Excerpt Editor myself.

    Hello Roy!

    First of all, thanks for your extremely fast reply!

    I just tried excerpt editor few minutes ago, but i have no luck with it.

    Here’s my index.php content

    Can u tell me exactly what should i do, please?

    Thank you very much!

    It’s safer to use a plugin when you’re not comfortable with coding

    Hi Roy!

    Well, managed to replace the_content with the_excerpt, it works now properly, but as i changed it my tweet counter and sexy bookmarks plugin does not work on my main page they are disappeared and only display if i go to the article.

    I wouldn’t start editing plugin files if I were you. I’m not a coder enough to know what the results of that may be. Besides, I don’t know either plugin. Just the_excerpt in your theme should do the trick.

    I just tried your suggestion: Excerpt editor.

    It works well, but if i use this plugin my bookmarks will hide from home and display only if i enter in the post….

    What do you mean with bookmarks? Categories, tags, ankors?

    I use a plugin called sexy bookmarks.

    So if Excerpt editor is active, then sexy bookmarks does not show on posts on main page, only if i enter in the post to read the full text…….

    Hm, conflicting plugins is a tough one. I think Excerpt Editor is more easily replaceable, but also more easily coded than that other plugin. But weren’t things okay when you only edited the theme and not the plugins?
