    I hope someone can help me with this, I can’t seem to get the ‘read more’ link to show up in my articles. I have a menu with 4 menu links, each link has two or three articles in a section>category. The menu is set up for Article Category blog. I want to show6 articles on a page, that just shows a few lines of text, then you click the ‘read more’ to got to the rest of that article. I have checked all the parameters, and global parameters that deal with read more (I think) Can anyone figure out what I am missing? thanks very much.

    These two tutorials I wrote might help you along the way.

    However, this is what I have done for WPAddict.net

    In your theme’s functions.php, put the following code:

    add_filter('excerpt_length', 'my_excerpt_length');
function my_excerpt_length($len) { return 40; }

    edit 40 (which is not number of words, but characters – letters, numbers, and spaces) to the desired amount.

    You could try adding within your post… if you are indeed showing the_excerpt instead of the_content
    <a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" >Read More &rarr;</a>

    However, check out the tutorials above and try it out. If you have not already, making sure your settings in your site are set to display 6 posts at least.
