The creator of my theme just sent the following message:
I just found out that the inability to use the tag to display partial posts is default behavior on pages.
The workaround this is to add this code before the content:
<?php global $more; $more = 0; ?>
This worked perfectly. Thanks to all who sent suggestions!
That didn’t work. I tried adding it, both with and without the original code that looks similar.
function excerpt_ellipse($text) {
return str_replace(' [...]', ' <a href="'.get_permalink().'">Read more</a>', $text);
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_ellipse');
It didn’t work either way. Any other thoughts?
It reverted back to the first 55 words. I need it to work like the archive page works, so the read more tag can be placed at a strategic point in each post.
