# Only show summary

 * Hi 😉
 * I’m trying to figure out, how to display everything before the
 * `<!--more-->`
 * on single.php, what i have so far:
 *     ```
       <div class="entry">
              // Only Display Everything INFRONT of the more tag!
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Now some other code comes after this and then i show everything except everything
   infront of the more tag like this:
 *     ```
       <div class="full-entry">
       <?php the_content('more_link_text', strip_teaser, 'more_file'); ?>
       <div>
       ```
   
 * So, showing only everything after the more tag works, but how to show only everything
   before the more tag. (without using the excerpt field)
 * Hope somebody can help me with this 😉
 * Thanks
 * Kind Regards,
 * Headshot
