Gina, did you try the “More” tag?
https://en.support.wordpress.com/more-tag/
The more tag is in use here on our demo http://demo.lyrathemes.com/kale/
Maybe I am misunderstanding you, so it would be better if you could explain with a screenshot or an example.
The read more code is not working correctly – please see the live site (about Dr Kimbro page) http://www.center4womenshealth.org
There should be a Read More button after the words Phoenix Magazine.
I would love for this more feature to work!
Thank you,
Gina
Are you using a plugin for this? How are you inserting the read more into the page?
I am using this code in the text box
<!–more–>
Thank you,
Gina
The more tag does not work like that – it does not split the page view. For more information on how it works, please see https://en.support.wordpress.com/more-tag/ and https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More#How_to_use_Read_More_in_Pages.
