# Manual "read more"

 * I love this theme, it’s perfect for my use, save one minor snag I can’t crack.
   I want to have “Read more,” but I want it to be manually inserted. See, I wanted
   to display post content, not excerpt, but when I switch it to full post and add
   the “read more” tag manually, it only seems to behave correctly in the WP Theme
   Preview, but not in any browsers once I navigate away from the preview. Any ideas
   about this? I’ve tried tweaking the code to play around (returning it all to 
   normal), but no luck. Thanks for any advice, and love the work!

 * Hi,
    Go to “Appearance > Customize > Posts” and choose “Display Full Post”. Then
   you can insert your [More tag](https://en.support.wordpress.com/more-tag/) via
   WordPress editor.

 * I did that, but as I said, it only seems to behave correctly in the WP Theme 
   Preview, but not in any browsers once I navigate away from the preview. When 
   I view in any other browser (even the browser the preview is in) it clips the
   post, but doesn’t insert the “read more.” This is what I see: [http://imgur.com/EvhUI4o](http://imgur.com/EvhUI4o)

 * Can you try to change the [Read more…] more with other text, maybe
 * read more…
