Some clever comments by Mark Twain “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” “Most people are bothered by those passages of Scripture they do not understand, but the passages that bother me are those I do understand.” “Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.”

Which works fine as the more command doesn’t show up when individual post are called. * The problem is that when you first open the site all recent posts a displayed in the center column and they all have the more command including those with where the more command hasn’t been invoked. When you click on those posts the more icon disappears. * Is there a way of applying the Excerpt command to individual posts? * [kmessinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmessinger/) * (@kmessinger) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/more-5/#post-5649632) * Does this happen with all plugins disabled and using the twenty fourteen theme? * Thread Starter [rwhalls](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rwhalls/) * (@rwhalls) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/more-5/#post-5649647) * I don’t want to disable all my plugins.

The theme (at least the free version) also appears to have no way of changing that without editing a theme file directly, however you may be able to easily hide it. Try this.. * Go to Appearance > NewsScope Theme Options > General > and in the Custom CSS box, paste this on its own line: * `.readmore-wrap {display:none;}` * – save the changes and check to see if it took care of the concern. * [kmessinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmessinger/) * (@kmessinger) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/more-5/#post-5649651) * > I don’t want to disable all my plugins. > Would this be an approach that would > solve my problem? * No, but it would tell us where the problem is. * Thread Starter [rwhalls](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rwhalls/) * (@rwhalls) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/more-5/#post-5649663) * Assuming there is no solution using FT Themes do you have a theme that is similar to the NewsScope theme I’m using. If so if I were to use it would all my data and css files convert?
