    Hi,

    I want to use the <!– more –> tag on pages and edited the template according to the specifications for page with $more=0; before the content is called. It shows a more link with the extension “/#more-50” to the page permalink, but this link leads nowhere! Only the partial content is shown, the content after the more tag remains invisible.

    Can anybody help here? Thanks in advance!

    Thank you. I have read this page before, now I have an assumption. Does that mean, I can use the more tag only on the static front page? I want to use it for sub-pages though… There the more link leads nowhere.

    If you are going to use it on single sub-pages, where do you expect the more link to lead to?

    Well, my idea is the following: I order to make sure all elements of a page (header, main, footer) are visible on a regular screen after loading the page, I want to restrict the lenght of the_content() to a few paragraphs only. If the text of a specific page is long, I would insert the <!–more–> (after e.g. the third paragragph) to ensure complete visibility of the complete page. The rest of the article would the only appear after the user clicks “read more…”. This is not happening right now.

    I would like to avoid creating two pages, one with short and with long text…

    Why not use the <!--nextpage--> tag?

    Well, maybe I end up doing this, but I would prefer to have the whole text on one page after clicking read more. However, it seems difficult to achieve this. Thank you for your support anyways!
