I have done as suggested above but it is still not working. Below is the code from my functions.php Anyone see anything different that I should change?

<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
    register_sidebar(array(
    	'name' => 'Sidebar left',
        'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
        'after_widget' => '</li>',
        'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">',
        'after_title' => '</h3>',
    ));
    register_sidebar(array(
    	'name' => 'Sidebar right',
        'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
        'after_widget' => '</li>',
        'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">',
        'after_title' => '</h3>',
    ));

function excerpt_ellipse($text) {
   return str_replace('[...]', ' <a href="'.get_permalink().'">Read more...</a>', $text); }
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_ellipse');
?>

Alright so I changed the code in
index.php from the_content(‘…….’)

to

<?php the_excerpt(‘Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>

It worked but the excerpt post is not showing the “Read the rest of this entry” How can I get the “Read the rest of this entry to show under the excerpt? Looks like I don’t have the category.php but two archive.php files. One is archive.php the other archives.php I did the change in the archives.php but did not see any change.

The inner page name is page1 – I put the page in my active theme folder – site is on a test server. What is happening is I keep getting the following error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /var/www/vhosts/rbizzy.plesk.freepgs.com/httpdocs/testpage.php on line 1

someone said the issue might be in the my index page which is missing something – I don’t know if that is true because if that was the case the rest of the pages would not load. It is only this new page that I have copied and added to the folder that is not showing.
