 * if you haven’t found any assistence in here:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More](http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More)
 * you could start by editing index.php of your theme and looking for the text within
   the brackets of ‘the_content()’
 * you could also provide more details (theme?, link?)

 * Hi,
 * OPen the index.php, page.php file where you want to display the full article 
   and find this:
 * `the_excerpt()`
 * Replace with:
 * `the_content()`
 * Thanks,

 * I was looking to remove the “link jump” when clicking _More_ or _Read the full
   article_.
    I’ve added the following code to functions.php, but that didn’t work:

 * I’m using the Techified theme on a local machine
    [http://www.technologytricks.com/techified-just-another-premium-wordpress-themes/](http://www.technologytricks.com/techified-just-another-premium-wordpress-themes/)
 * Any help on how to prevent the page from jumping to the more tag?

 * alchymyth, what I mean is that when I click _Read the full article_, it loads
   the single post page, but automatically goes down to the part where I’ve inserted
   the “More” tag.
    What I would like to do is not to have the page jump down when
   loading the article, but instead stay up

 * i finally got what you are trying to achieve.
    i tried the code for functions.
   php that you linked to, in my local setup, and it worked.
 * die you leave the code from this link

   in the functions.php of your theme?
 * if so, does your browser (in IE for instance at the bottom) show `#more-yy` at
   the end of the lnk url when you hover over the ‘read more’ on the front page (
   index.php)?

 * I’ve put the code at the end of functions.php, just before this:
    <?php } ?>
 * and it still shows #more-yy at the bottom

 * that looks like you put it into the end of annother function –
    try to put it
   after the } – like so:
 *     ```
       <?php } 
   
       -your code here-
   
       ?>
       ```

   help. I truly appreciate your time and help. I was about to give up, but you’ve
   made my day.
